Hertz to Megahertz Converter

Understanding Frequency Conversion

What is Hertz (Hz)?

Hertz (Hz) is the standard unit for measuring frequency in the International System of Units (SI). One hertz represents one cycle per second. It's commonly used in electronics, telecommunications, and physics.

What is Megahertz (MHz)?

Megahertz (MHz) is equal to one million hertz. It's frequently used to measure computer processor speeds, radio frequencies, and other high-frequency applications.

Conversion Formula

To convert from hertz to megahertz, divide the frequency by 1,000,000:

MHz = Hz ÷ 1,000,000

Common Applications

  • CPU clock speeds (typically 2-5 GHz)
  • Radio broadcasting (FM: 88-108 MHz)
  • WiFi frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands)
  • Mobile phone frequencies (various bands)
