How to Convert Gigahertz to Hertz
To convert a measurement in gigahertz to a measurement in hertz, multiply the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000,000 hertz/gigahertz.
Since one gigahertz is equal to 1,000,000,000 hertz, you can use this simple formula to convert:
hertz = gigahertz × 1,000,000,000
The frequency in hertz is equal to the frequency in gigahertz multiplied by 1,000,000,000.
How Many Hertz Are in a Gigahertz?
There are 1,000,000,000 hertz in a gigahertz, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz
Gigahertz and hertz are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Gigahertz?
Gigahertz is a measure of frequency equal to one billion cycles per second.
The gigahertz is a multiple of the hertz, which is the SI derived unit for frequency. In the metric system, "giga" is the prefix for billions, or 109. Gigahertz can be abbreviated as GHz; for example, 1 gigahertz can be written as 1 GHz.

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 = Cycles / Time in Seconds
