gigahertz to megahertz
Convert gigahertz (GHz) to megahertz (MHz). Use an editable frequency converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 GHz = 1,000 MHz
Conversion formula
One gigahertz equals 1,000 megahertz. Multiply your value in gigahertz by this factor to get megahertz. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 gigahertz:5 × 1,000 = 5,000 MHz
Conversion table
| gigahertz (GHz) | megahertz (MHz) |

| 2 | 2,000 |
| 5 | 5,000 |
| 10 | 10,000 |
| 25 | 25,000 |
| 50 | 50,000 |
| 100 | 100,000 |
| 1000 | 1,000,000 |
About these measurements
Frequency measures cycles per second.
The base reference used here is the hertz. One gigahertz is 1,000,000,000 base units; one megahertz is 1,000,000 base units.
Important distinctions
Frequency is the reciprocal of period, not angular velocity.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert GHz to MHz?
Multiply the quantity in GHz by 1,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the megahertz to gigahertz converter.
