Gigahertz to Megahertz

A gigahertz is one billion hertz, the standard unit for modern CPU clock speeds and Wi-Fi frequency bands. A megahertz is one million hertz, used for FM radio frequencies and older CPU clock speeds. 1 GHz equals 1,000 MHz, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.

Both units belong to frequency, measured here against frequency's base unit (Hz) — every other frequency unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.

Formula

MHz = GHz × 1,000

GHz = MHz × 0.001

Worked example: 5 GHz × 1,000 = 5,000 MHz.

Frequently asked

How many Megahertz in a gigahertz?
1 GHz equals 1,000 MHz.
How do I convert Gigahertz to Megahertz?
Multiply the value in GHz by 1,000 to get MHz. The converter above does this instantly as you type.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes — Gigahertz and Megahertz are both defined by a fixed conversion factor to frequency's base unit (Hz), so the result shown is exact to the precision displayed, not an approximation.
