About Gigahertz to Megahertz
Convert gigahertz to megahertz instantly, with a reference table of common values. The factor is exact: 1 GHz = 1000 MHz.
Used in computing and radio, where a processor or band specified in gigahertz has to be compared against figures quoted in megahertz.
A gigahertz is one billion hertz, or 1,000 megahertz. Processor clock speeds reached this range around 2000 and then largely stopped climbing, as manufacturers turned to multiple cores instead of raw frequency. It describes processor clock speeds, Wi-Fi bands and mobile network frequencies. Wi-Fi operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and a modern processor runs at 3 to 5 GHz.
Worked through with real numbers: 1 GHz is 1000 MHz, 100 GHz is 100000 MHz, 1000 GHz is 1000000 MHz.
As for the other side of the conversion: FM radio broadcasts between about 88 and 108 MHz.
Frequency units are straightforward decimal multiples of the hertz, with no competing conventions or historical irregularities โ a rare case where conversion is genuinely just moving a decimal point.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert gigahertz to megahertz?
Multiply your gigahertz figure by 1000 to get megahertz โ or type a value above and read the answer straight off.
How many megahertz are in one gigahertz?
1 GHz = 1000 MHz.
When would I need to convert gigahertz to megahertz?
Used in computing and radio, where a processor or band specified in gigahertz has to be compared against figures quoted in megahertz.
What is a gigahertz, exactly?
A gigahertz is one billion hertz, or 1,000 megahertz. Processor clock speeds reached this range around 2000 and then largely stopped climbing, as manufacturers turned to multiple cores instead of raw frequency. Wi-Fi operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and a modern processor runs at 3 to 5 GHz.
Where is the megahertz actually used?
It is used for radio broadcast frequencies, older processor speeds and memory bus rates. FM radio broadcasts between about 88 and 108 MHz.
Is there anything tricky about frequency conversions?
Frequency units are straightforward decimal multiples of the hertz, with no competing conventions or historical irregularities โ a rare case where conversion is genuinely just moving a decimal point.
Is this converter accurate?
Yes. It uses the exact standard factor of 1 GHz = 1000 MHz, and the conversion runs in your browser so nothing is uploaded.
