Interactive gigahertz to megahertz conversion tool
The GHz to MHz converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert gigahertz to megahertz. Simply enter the number of gigahertz you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in megahertz.
What is the conversion factor between gigahertz and megahertz?
A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. It represents the ratio (or fraction) that expresses the relationship between two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.
The relationship between gigahertz and megahertz is 1000, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1000 megahertz for every gigahertz, and for every megahertz, there are 11000 gigahertz (0.001 GHz).
To convert from gigahertz to megahertz, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.
Both these fractions are equal to 1. The numerator and the denominator are equivalent, they are just expressed in different units.
Because we are converting from gigahertz to megahertz, we will use the first fraction: 1000 MHz1 GHz so that gigahertz are canceled out. We then multiply the value in gigahertz by this fraction to get the result in megahertz (see example).
Note that GHz is in the denominator (bottom) of the conversion factor. This is important, you always want to have the unit you are converting from at the bottom and the unit you are converting to in the numerator (top).
You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from GHz to MHz. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from gigahertz to megahertz is:
Which is bigger, a gigahertz or a megahertz?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a gigahertz or an megahertz. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 GHz = 1000 MHz
- 1000 megahertz is bigger than 1 megahertz.
- 1 gigahertz is, therefore, bigger than 1 megahertz.
- To be more specific, a megahertz is 1000 times smaller than a gigahertz.

How to convert gigahertz to megahertz?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 34 x 1 = 34
- 801 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 801
Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.
For example, if we want to convert 1000 gigahertz into megahertz we multiply 1000 GHz by the conversion factor of 1000 MHz1 GHz
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, gigahertz are canceled out and we get the result in megahertz. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.
Based on this, we can conclude that 1000 gigahertz are equal to 1e+6 megahertz.
Remember:
- When converting from gigahertz to megahertz, we use 1000 MHz1 GHz as a conversion factor.

How to convert 52 gigahertz to megahertz?
We multiply 52 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for gigahertz to megahertz
We multiply 52 gigahertz by the conversion factor. Having gigahertz in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (GHz) leaving only megahertz in the final result.
Answer: There are 52000 megahertz in 52 gigahertz
How many megahertz are in 780 gigahertz?
Multiply 780 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (GHz) is in the denominator.
This allows us to cancel out the gigahertz (GHz) and leave the megahertz (MHz)
Answer: There are 780000 megahertz in 780 gigahertz
megahertz to gigahertz conversion
- 1 MHz = 11000 GHz = 0.001 GHz
- To convert from megahertz to gigahertz use our MHz to GHz converter
gigahertz conversion
Convert from Gigahertz (GHz):
- Gigahertz to terahertz (GHz to THz)
1 GHz = 11000 THz = 0.001 THz - Gigahertz to megahertz (GHz to MHz)
1 GHz = 1000 MHz - Gigahertz to kilohertz (GHz to kHz)
1 GHz = 1e+6 kHz - Gigahertz to hertz (GHz to Hz)
1 GHz = 1e+9 Hz
Convert to Gigahertz (GHz):
- Terahertz to gigahertz (THz to GHz)
1 THz = 1000 GHz - Megahertz to gigahertz (MHz to GHz)
1 MHz = 11000 GHz = 0.001 GHz - Kilohertz to gigahertz (kHz to GHz)
1 kHz = 11e+6 GHz = 1e-6 GHz - Hertz to gigahertz (Hz to GHz)
1 Hz = 11e+9 GHz = 1e-9 GHz
megahertz conversion
Convert from Megahertz (MHz):
- Megahertz to terahertz (MHz to THz)
1 MHz = 11e+6 THz = 1e-6 THz - Megahertz to gigahertz (MHz to GHz)
1 MHz = 11000 GHz = 0.001 GHz - Megahertz to kilohertz (MHz to kHz)
1 MHz = 1000 kHz - Megahertz to hertz (MHz to Hz)
1 MHz = 1e+6 Hz
Convert to Megahertz (MHz):
- Terahertz to megahertz (THz to MHz)
1 THz = 1e+6 MHz - Gigahertz to megahertz (GHz to MHz)
1 GHz = 1000 MHz - Kilohertz to megahertz (kHz to MHz)
1 kHz = 11000 MHz = 0.001 MHz - Hertz to megahertz (Hz to MHz)
1 Hz = 11e+6 MHz = 1e-6 MHz
