What Are Cycles per Second?

Cycles per second are a measurement of frequency.

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 = Cycles / Time_s

How Much Is a Cycle per Second?

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

How to Convert Cycles per Second

To convert cycles per second to another unit of frequency, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.^[1]

You can find the conversion factors for cycles per second in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the frequency measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

cycles per second × conversion factor = result

You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
