1 Hertz (Hz) = 0.001 Kilohertz (kHz)
How to convert Hertz (Hz) to Kilohertz (kHz)?
How many Kilohertz (kHz) are in Hertz (Hz)? The relationship is:
- 1000 Hz = 1 kHz
- 1 Hz = 0.001 kHz
To convert Hertz (Hz) to Kilohertz (kHz), divide the value by 1000 (or multiply by 0.001).
Formula: Kilohertz (kHz) = Hertz (Hz) ÷ 1000
Step-by-Step Calculation
- Take the number of Hertz (Hz) you want to convert (e.g., 5000).
- Divide that value by 1000.
- The result is the value in Kilohertz (kHz). (Example: 5000 ÷ 1000 = 5 kHz).
How to use this converter?
Enter Hertz (Hz) and get kilohertz (kHz) instantly—useful for audio frequencies, signals, electronics, and radio calculations.

History: What is Hertz?
Hertz (Hz) is the SI unit of frequency, meaning cycles per second. Kilohertz (kHz) is used for higher-frequency ranges where writing large numbers in Hz becomes inconvenient.
