Unit Description
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.
Cycles per Minute (cpm)
Definition
Cycles per minute (cpm) is a unit of frequency representing the number of complete cycles of a periodic phenomenon occurring in one minute. It's used for moderate-frequency periodic processes and mechanical systems.
History
Cycles per minute developed for describing periodic processes that occur at moderate rates, particularly in mechanical systems, industrial processes, and biological applications where minute-based measurements were more practical than second-based measurements.
Current Use
CPM is used in industrial process control, mechanical systems, biological monitoring, and applications where periodic events occur at moderate rates. It's found in process equipment specifications, biological rhythm measurements, and industrial automation systems.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Megahertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 6e+7 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = MHz × 6e+7
- Calculation: 1 MHz × 6e+7 = 6e+7 cpm
Convert 10 Megahertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 6e+7 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = MHz × 6e+7
- Calculation: 10 MHz × 6e+7 = 6e+8 cpm
Convert 100 Megahertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 6e+7 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = MHz × 6e+7
- Calculation: 100 MHz × 6e+7 = 6e+9 cpm
Convert 1,000 Megahertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 MHz = 6e+7 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = MHz × 6e+7
- Calculation: 1,000 MHz × 6e+7 = 6e+10 cpm
