Hz to kHz Converter

How to convert hertz to kilohertz?

To convert hertz to kilohertz, divide the frequency value by 1,000. This is because 1 kilohertz equals 1,000 hertz.

f_(kHz) = f_(Hz) / 1,000

Example

Convert 1,000 hertz to kilohertz:

f_(kHz) = 1,000Hz / 1,000 = 1kHz

How many kilohertz in a hertz?

There are 0.001 kilohertz in one hertz.

1Hz = 0.001kHz

1Hz = 0.001kHz

How many hertz in a kilohertz?

There are 1,000 hertz in one kilohertz.

1kHz = 1,000Hz

1kHz = 1,000Hz

Who invented the hertz unit?

The hertz unit was named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857-1894), a German physicist who proved the existence of electromagnetic waves. The unit was adopted by the SI in 1960.

What are common applications of Hz to kHz conversion?

Common applications include audio engineering (human hearing 20Hz-20kHz), AM radio broadcasting (530-1700kHz), and electronics design for frequency analysis and signal processing.
