Cycle per second to Hertz Converter

Use this page to convert cycle per second values into hertz, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

Cycle per second

One cycle per second is equal to one hertz.

History: Cycles per second was common before hertz became the formal SI name.

Current use: Used mainly for legacy frequency references.

Also written as cycle/s, cycles per second, cps.

Hertz

Hertz measures cycles per second.

History: The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz and is the SI unit of frequency.

Current use: Used for waves, electronics, optics, sound, radio, computing, and periodic phenomena.

Also written as Hz, hertz, cycles per second.
