Convert MHz to Hz
Input the number of megahertz you want to convert to hertz.
How to Convert Megahertz to Hertz
The megahertz and hertz are both units of frequency. By definition, 1 hertz equals exactly 1000 megahertz. This means to convert megahertz to hertz, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MHz to hertz:
We need to convert megahertz to hertz
Since 1 Hz = 1000 MHz, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 MHz = 0.005 Hz

About These Units
Megahertz (MHz)
A megahertz (MHz) equals 1 million hertz. Megahertz measures FM radio (88-108 MHz), WiFi frequencies (2400 MHz, 5000 MHz), and older CPU speeds. Early Pentium processors ran at 60-200 MHz. Television channels use MHz frequencies.
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.
