How to Convert Cycles Per Second to Hertz

To convert a cycle per second measurement to a hertz measurement, divide the frequency by the conversion ratio.

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 cycles per second divided by 1.

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

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

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

Hertz

Hertz is formally defined as the frequency equalling 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 = CyclesTimes
