Hertz to Cycle per second Converter

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

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.

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.
