Kilohertz to Cycle per second Converter

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

Conversion formula

1 kHz = 1,000 cycle/s

1 cycle/s = 0.001 kHz

Example: 1000000000 kHz = 1,000,000,000,000 cycle/s

Kilohertz

One kilohertz is equal to 1000 hertz.

History: Kilohertz is common for audio and low-frequency electronics.

Current use: Used for audio, sensors, communications, and instrumentation.

Also written as kHz, kilohertz.

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.
