Convert Hz to GHz

Type the number of hertz that you wish to convert to gigahertz.

1 Hz (hertz) = 1e-9 GHz (gigahertz)

How to Convert Hertz to Gigahertz

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

Formula

gigahertz = hertz ÷ 1000000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 Hz to gigahertz:

1
Convert 5 Hz to gigahertz

We need to convert hertz to gigahertz

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 GHz = 1000000000 Hz, divide by 1000000000

5 ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9

Answer

5 Hz = 5e-9 GHz

About These Units

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.

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.
