The result of converting 500 kHz to MHz is 0.5 MHz.
To convert kilohertz (kHz) to megahertz (MHz), you divide the number of kilohertz by 1000 because there are 1000 kilohertz in one megahertz. For example, 500 kHz divided by 1000 gives 0.5 MHz, meaning 500 kilohertz equals half a megahertz.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kilohertz to megahertz is dividing the number of kilohertz by 1000 because 1 MHz equals 1000 kHz. So, the calculation is simple: MHz = kHz / 1000. This works because the units are scaled by a factor of 1000, making the conversion straightforward.
For example, converting 600 kHz: 600 / 1000 = 0.6 MHz. This step ensures the units are correctly scaled, giving the equivalent megahertz value for any given kilohertz number.
Conversion Example
- Convert 800 kHz to MHz:
- Start with 800 kHz.
- Divide 800 by 1000.
- 800 / 1000 = 0.8 MHz.
- The answer is 0.8 MHz.
- Convert 250 kHz to MHz:
- Take 250 kHz.
- Divide 250 by 1000.
- 250 / 1000 = 0.25 MHz.
- Therefore, 250 kHz equals 0.25 MHz.
- Convert 1000 kHz to MHz:
- Start with 1000 kHz.
- Divide 1000 by 1000.
- 1000 / 1000 = 1 MHz.
- Result is 1 MHz.
- Convert 125 kHz to MHz:
- Use 125 kHz.
- Divide 125 by 1000.
- 125 / 1000 = 0.125 MHz.
- Answer is 0.125 MHz.
- Convert 950 kHz to MHz:
- Begin with 950 kHz.
- Divide 950 by 1000.
- 950 / 1000 = 0.95 MHz.
- The conversion results in 0.95 MHz.

Conversion Definitions
khz
Khz, or kilohertz, is a unit of frequency equal to 1,000 cycles per second. It measures how often a repeating event occurs each second, commonly used for radio signals, audio frequencies, and other periodic phenomena in electronics.
mhz
Mhz, or megahertz, stands for one million cycles per second, representing a higher frequency range. It is used to describe radio waves, computer processor speeds, and other high-frequency signals where large oscillations happen in a second.
Conversion FAQs
Can I convert any number of kHz to MHz by dividing by 1000?
Yes, dividing the number of kilohertz by 1000 always gives the equivalent megahertz because 1 MHz equals 1000 kHz. This simple division makes conversions quick and accurate for any value within these units.
What happens if I input a decimal in the kHz field?
If you enter decimal values in the kHz field, the script divides that decimal by 1000 and displays the result with four decimal places, ensuring precise conversion even with fractional inputs.
Is the conversion formula valid for all frequencies?
Yes, the formula applies universally for any frequency measured in kHz when converting to MHz because the units are scaled by a factor of 1000, making the division always correct regardless of the number size.
Why does dividing by 1000 work for converting kHz to MHz?
Dividing by 1000 works because 1 MHz is defined as 1000 kHz, so to find how many MHz are in a given kHz value, you divide by 1000, shifting the decimal point three places to the left.
Can I use this conversion for other units like Hz to kHz?
No, this specific formula is for converting kHz to MHz. For Hz to kHz, you would divide by 1000, and for Hz to MHz, divide by 1,000,000, adjusting for the respective units.
