Hertz to Megahertz Converter
Convert frequency from hertz to megahertz for radio, communications, electronics, audio, and technical specifications. The conversion is based on the metric prefix mega, which represents one million.
Quick Answer
Megahertz = Hertz Γ· 1,000,000
One megahertz equals 1,000,000 hertz. Divide a frequency in Hz by 1,000,000 to convert it to MHz.
What Does Megahertz Mean?
Megahertz means one million cycles per second. MHz is commonly used for radio frequencies, microcontrollers, communications equipment, and other electronic systems.
Checking Your Result
For a quick sanity check, 1,000,000 Hz should become 1 MHz, while 100,000,000 Hz should become 100 MHz. If the result is off by a factor of 1,000, you may have confused MHz with GHz or kHz.
Examples
1,000,000 Hz = 1 MHz.
10,000,000 Hz = 10 MHz.
50,000,000 Hz = 50 MHz.
100,000,000 Hz = 100 MHz.
Quick Reference
- 1 MHz = 10^6 Hz.
- Divide by one million.
- MHz and GHz differ by a factor of 1,000.
