To convert a measurement in hertz to a measurement in kilohertz, divide the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 hertz/kilohertz.

Since one kilohertz is equal to 1,000 hertz, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilohertz = hertz ÷ 1,000

The frequency in kilohertz is equal to the frequency in hertz divided by 1,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 hertz to kilohertz using the formula above.
kilohertz = (5,000 Hz ÷ 1,000) = 5 kHZ

Hertz and kilohertz are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Hertz?

One hertz is formally defined as the frequency of one cycle per second.[1]

The hertz is the SI derived unit for frequency in the metric system. Hertz can be abbreviated as Hz; for example, 1 hertz can be written as 1 Hz.

Frequency in hertz can be expressed using the formula:

Hz = CyclesTime in Seconds

What Is a Kilohertz?

Kilohertz is a measure of frequency equal to one thousand cycles per second.

The kilohertz is a multiple of the hertz, which is the SI derived unit for frequency. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilohertz can be abbreviated as kHZ; for example, 1 kilohertz can be written as 1 kHZ.
