What is a Hertz?
The Hertz (Hz) is the SI unit of frequency, equivalent to one cycle per second. It is named after Heinrich Hertz, the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves.
What is a Gigahertz?
The Gigahertz (GHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one billion hertz, widely used in computing and microwave communication.
How to Convert Hertz to Gigahertz
To convert Hertz to Gigahertz, multiply the Hertz value by 1e-9.
GHz = Hz × 1e-9Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula
The standard formula to convert from Hertz to Gigahertz is:
GHz = Hz × 1e-9Step 2: Plug in the Value
Substitute the value you want to convert (for example, 5 Hz) into the formula.
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Perform the calculation to get the result in Gigahertz.
