Since 1 kilohertz equals 1000 hertz, converting 1000 Hz to kHz involves dividing the number of hertz by 1000. This straightforward process helps to express frequency in larger units, making it easier to understand and compare signals or sound waves in kilohertz instead of hertz.
Conversion Result
1000 Hz is equal to 1 kHz.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert hertz to kilohertz is simple: khz = hz / 1000. It works because the prefix ‘kilo’ means 1000, so dividing the frequency value in hz by 1000 gives the equivalent in khz. For example, 2000 Hz divided by 1000 equals 2 kHz, making the scale easier to read.
Conversion Example
- Convert 1500 Hz to kHz:
- Step 1: Write down the value in Hz: 1500 Hz.
- Step 2: Divide by 1000: 1500 / 1000.
- Step 3: Result: 1.5 kHz.
- Convert 500 Hz to kHz:
- Step 1: Write 500 Hz.
- Step 2: Divide 500 by 1000: 500 / 1000.
- Step 3: Result: 0.5 kHz.
- Convert 2500 Hz to kHz:
- Step 1: Value is 2500 Hz.
- Step 2: Divide 2500 by 1000: 2500 / 1000.
- Step 3: Result: 2.5 kHz.
- Convert 975 Hz to kHz:
- Step 1: Write 975 Hz.
- Step 2: Divide 975 by 1000: 975 / 1000.
- Step 3: Result: 0.975 kHz.
- Convert 1025 Hz to kHz:
- Step 1: Write 1025 Hz.
- Step 2: Divide 1025 by 1000: 1025 / 1000.
- Step 3: Result: 1.025 kHz.

Conversion Definitions
Hz
Hertz (Hz) measures the number of cycles or vibrations per second in a periodic signal, such as sound, radio waves, or electrical currents, providing a basic unit for frequency that indicates how often events repeat each second.
kHz
Kilohertz (kHz) is a frequency unit equal to 1000 hertz, used to express higher frequencies in sound, radio, and electronic signals, making it easier to work with large numbers by scaling down the measurement.
Conversion FAQs
How does the conversion change if I have 500 Hz instead of 1000 Hz?
To convert 500 Hz to khz, you divide by 1000, resulting in 0.5 kHz. The process remains the same regardless of the initial value, simply adjusting the number of hertz to find the equivalent in kilohertz.
Why is dividing by 1000 the correct way to convert Hz to kHz?
Because the prefix ‘kilo’ means 1000, dividing the number of hertz by 1000 converts the measurement to kilohertz, scaling down the value to a more manageable figure for higher frequency signals.
Can I convert between Hz and kHz using a calculator, and what should I remember?
Yes, a calculator can perform the division automatically. Remember, when converting Hz to kHz, divide by 1000; for kHz to Hz, multiply by 1000, to switch between units accurately.
