Frequency Units & Calculator
Frequency counts cycles per second. RPM becomes cycles per second by dividing by 60; angular velocity would additionally involve 2π radians.
Detailed explanation & worked examples
Conversion method
Base value = input × source factor + source offset. Output = (base value − target offset) ÷ target factor. Only units from this family can be converted together.
Worked example
For the first two units below: 1 Hertz becomes 0.00100000 Kilohertz.
| Unit | Multiplier | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Hertz | 1 | 0 |
| Kilohertz | 1000 | 0 |
| Megahertz | 1000000 | 0 |
| Gigahertz | 1000000000 | 0 |
| Revolutions per minute | 0.016666666666667 | 0 |
