About Megahertz to Hertz
Convert megahertz to hertz instantly, with a reference table of common values. The factor is exact: 1 MHz = 1000000 Hz.
Needed when a radio or clock frequency has to enter a calculation at base units, since formulas involving frequency expect hertz.
A megahertz is one million hertz. Early personal computers were rated in megahertz, and processor clock speeds stayed in this range until the late 1990s. It is used for radio broadcast frequencies, older processor speeds and memory bus rates. FM radio broadcasts between about 88 and 108 MHz.
Worked through with real numbers: 1 MHz is 1000000 Hz, 100 MHz is 100000000 Hz, 1000 MHz is 1000000000 Hz.
As for the other side of the conversion: human hearing spans roughly 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and mains electricity runs at 50 or 60 Hz.
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 megahertz to hertz?
Multiply your megahertz figure by 1000000 to get hertz โ or type a value above and read the answer straight off.
How many hertz are in one megahertz?
1 MHz = 1000000 Hz.
When would I need to convert megahertz to hertz?
Needed when a radio or clock frequency has to enter a calculation at base units, since formulas involving frequency expect hertz.
What is a megahertz, exactly?
A megahertz is one million hertz. Early personal computers were rated in megahertz, and processor clock speeds stayed in this range until the late 1990s. FM radio broadcasts between about 88 and 108 MHz.
Where is the hertz actually used?
It measures anything periodic โ sound pitch, alternating current, screen refresh rates and radio frequencies. Human hearing spans roughly 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and mains electricity runs at 50 or 60 Hz.
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 MHz = 1000000 Hz, and the conversion runs in your browser so nothing is uploaded.
