To convert a measurement in cycles per second to a measurement in hertz, divide the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 1 cycles per second/hertz.

Since one hertz is equal to 1 cycle per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:

hertz = cycles per second ÷ 1

The frequency in hertz is equal to the frequency in cycles per second divided by 1.

For example, here's how to convert 5 cycles per second to hertz using the formula above.
hertz = (5 cps ÷ 1) = 5 Hz

How Many Hertz Are in One Cycle per Second?

There are 1 hertz in one cycle per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 cps = 1 Hz

Cycles per second and hertz are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Are Cycles per Second?

Cycles per second are a measure of the number of oscillations, or cycles, that occur per second.

Cycles per second can be abbreviated as cps, and are also sometimes abbreviated as c/s or cycles/second. For example, 1 cycle per second can be written as 1 cps, 1 c/s, or 1 cycles/second.

Cycles per second can be expressed using the formula: cps = CyclesTimes

What is a Hertz?

One hertz is formally defined as the frequency of one cycle per second.[1]

The hertz is the SI derived unit for frequency in the metric system. Hertz can be abbreviated as Hz; for example, 1 hertz can be written as 1 Hz.

Frequency in hertz can be expressed using the formula:

Hz = CyclesTime in Seconds
