Quick Answer
Formula: Megahertz = Revolutions/Second × 1.0000e-6
Multiply any revolutions/second value by 1.0000e-6 to get megahertz.
Reverse: Revolutions/Second = Megahertz × 1e+06

Frequently Asked Questions
About Revolutions/Second and Megahertz
Revolutions/Second (rps)
Revolutions per second (rps) is the rotational frequency equivalent of hertz for mechanical systems. Since one complete revolution per second = 1 Hz, rps and Hz are numerically identical for periodic motion, though rps implies mechanical rotation while Hz implies general oscillation.
RPS is used in precision mechanical engineering, robotics, and motor control where per-second rates are more convenient than per-minute. A hard drive at 7,200 RPM rotates at exactly 120 rps.
Interesting fact: The relationship rps = Hz is not coincidental — both describe one complete cycle per second. Angular velocity in rad/s = 2π × rps, connecting rotational mechanics directly to wave physics through the same fundamental concept of cyclic repetition.
Megahertz (MHz)
The megahertz (MHz) equals 1,000,000 Hz and is the dominant frequency unit for FM radio, Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and processor clock speeds. The FM radio band spans 87.5–108 MHz; 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi uses channels in the 2,400–2,500 MHz range.
CPU clock speeds are measured in MHz and GHz: a 1 GHz processor = 1,000 MHz. Memory bus speeds, GPU clocks, and RF transmitters are all specified in MHz. The 4G LTE mobile standard uses frequencies from 700 MHz to 2,600 MHz.
Interesting fact: The first consumer 1 GHz CPU (AMD Athlon) launched in March 2000, reaching what seemed an impossible milestone. Moore's Law had predicted it — and modern CPUs now run at 4,000–6,000 MHz (4–6 GHz).
About Revolutions/Second to Megahertz Conversion
