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

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

gigahertz = megahertz ÷ 1,000

The frequency in gigahertz is equal to the frequency in megahertz divided by 1,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 megahertz to gigahertz using the formula above.
gigahertz = (5,000 MHz ÷ 1,000) = 5 GHz

What Is a Megahertz?

Megahertz is a measure of frequency equal to one million cycles per second.

The megahertz is a multiple of the hertz, which is the SI derived unit for frequency. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Megahertz can be abbreviated as MHz; for example, 1 megahertz can be written as 1 MHz.

What Is a Gigahertz?

Gigahertz is a measure of frequency equal to one billion cycles per second.

The gigahertz is a multiple of the hertz, which is the SI derived unit for frequency. In the metric system, "giga" is the prefix for billions, or 109. Gigahertz can be abbreviated as GHz; for example, 1 gigahertz can be written as 1 GHz.
