Convert GHz to Hz

Convert gigahertz to hertz by entering a value below.

1 GHz (gigahertz) = 1000000000 Hz (hertz)

How to Convert Gigahertz to Hertz

The gigahertz and hertz are both units of frequency. By definition, 1 gigahertz equals exactly 1000000000 hertz. This means to convert gigahertz to hertz, you multiply by 1000000000.

Formula

hertz = gigahertz × 1000000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 GHz to hertz:

1
Convert 5 GHz to hertz

We need to convert gigahertz to hertz

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 GHz = 1000000000 Hz, multiply by 1000000000

5 × 1000000000 = 5000000000

Answer

5 GHz = 5000000000 Hz

About These Units

Gigahertz (GHz)

A gigahertz (GHz) equals 1 billion hertz. Gigahertz measures modern CPU speeds (2-5 GHz), WiFi (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz), 5G cellular (millimeter wave: 24-47 GHz), and microwave ovens (2.45 GHz). RAM speed is also measured in GHz.

Hertz (Hz)

The hertz (Hz) is the SI unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Hertz measures sound pitch (human hearing: 20-20,000 Hz), AC power (50/60 Hz), and oscillations. Middle C on a piano is 261.63 Hz. Named after physicist Heinrich Hertz.
