The method, explained
Convert to the base unit, then divide by the target factor. One kilohertz is 1,000 hertz; one megahertz is 1,000,000 hertz; one gigahertz is 1,000,000,000 hertz.
1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz; 2.4 GHz = 2,400 MHz.
What to keep in mind
Hertz describes cycles per second. It is not the same as a data transfer rate measured in bits per second.
Common questions
Does MHz specify network throughput?
No. Throughput depends on modulation, channel conditions and other factors beyond frequency.
What does zero hertz mean?
There are no repeating cycles per second, as with a constant signal.
