Unit Description
Kilohertz (kHz)
Definition
A kilohertz (kHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousand hertz (10³ Hz). It represents moderate frequencies commonly found in audio applications, low-frequency radio, and various electronic systems.
History
The kilohertz became important with the development of audio technology and early radio communications. It provided a convenient scale for describing audio frequencies and low-frequency radio waves, becoming essential in the development of broadcasting and audio equipment.
Current Use
Kilohertz is extensively used in audio engineering, AM radio broadcasting, audio equipment specifications, and low-frequency electronic applications. It's standard for describing audio frequency ranges, AM radio frequencies, and various audio processing equipment.
Megahertz (MHz)
Definition
A megahertz (MHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million hertz (10⁶ Hz). It represents high frequencies commonly used in radio communications, early computer systems, and various electronic applications.
History
The megahertz became important with the development of radio technology in the early 20th century. It was essential for describing radio frequency bands and became widely known through radio broadcasting, later extending to early computer systems and electronic devices.
Current Use
Megahertz is widely used in radio broadcasting (AM/FM radio), early computer specifications, electronic circuits, and various communication systems. It's standard for radio frequency allocations, older processor speeds, and many electronic device specifications.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Kilohertz to Megahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
- Conversion Formula: MHz = kHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 1 kHz ÷ 1,000 = 0.001 MHz
Convert 10 Kilohertz to Megahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
- Conversion Formula: MHz = kHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 10 kHz ÷ 1,000 = 0.01 MHz
Convert 100 Kilohertz to Megahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
- Conversion Formula: MHz = kHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 100 kHz ÷ 1,000 = 0.1 MHz
Convert 1,000 Kilohertz to Megahertz
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 0.001 MHz
- Conversion Formula: MHz = kHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 1,000 kHz ÷ 1,000 = 1 MHz
