How to Convert megahertz to gigahertzgigahertz

1 MHz = 0.001 GHz
1 GHz = 1000 MHz

Example: convert 54 MHz to GHz:
54 MHz = 54 x 0.001 = 0.054 GHz

megahertz

Definition: A megahertz (symbol: MHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million (1,000,000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.

History/origin: The megahertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'mega-' denotes a factor of 10^6, adhering to the SI system of units.

Current use: Megahertz is commonly used to measure frequencies in radio broadcasting (e.g., FM radio), television signals, wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi), and the clock speeds of computer processors. It is a standard unit in telecommunications, computing, and electronics.

gigahertz

Definition: A gigahertz (symbol: GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one billion (1,000,000,000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.

History/origin: The gigahertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'giga-' denotes a factor of 10^9, adhering to the SI system of units.

Current use: Gigahertz is primarily used to measure the clock speeds of modern computer processors, the frequencies of wireless communication technologies (e.g., 5G cellular networks), and radar systems. It represents very high-frequency signals and operations.
