How to use
- Enter a value in the Megahertz field.
- The Rpm figure appears immediately — no button to press.
- Typing in the Rpm field converts back to Megahertz the same way.
- Use the reference table for the values that come up most often.
Megahertz to Rpm formula
The factor from megahertz to rpm is 60000000.
rpm = MHz × 60000000
Why this factor: the megahertz and the revolution per minute are both defined against the hertz, so dividing one definition by the other gives 60000000 directly. Both definitions are set out in full below.
To go the other way, divide by 60000000 — or use the Rpm to Megahertz converter, which is the same calculation reversed.
Worked example
Take 1000 MHz and multiply by the factor 60000000: the result is 60000000000 rpm.
1000 MHz × 60000000 = 60000000000 rpm
The converter above does this for any value you type, in either direction.
What is a megahertz?
A megahertz is one million cycles per second.
Definition: Exactly 1×10⁶ hertz.
Where it is used: FM radio and broadcast bands, memory clock speeds, and radio communications.
What is a revolution per minute?
Revolutions per minute measures rotational speed as complete turns each minute.
Definition: One revolution per minute is exactly 1/60 hertz.
Where it is used: Engine and motor speeds, hard drive and fan speeds, and centrifuge settings.
Megahertz vs Rpm
The megahertz is a metric unit while the revolution per minute is a specialized unit. That is why the factor between them is not a round number: the two systems were defined independently and only later tied together by exact agreement.
Frequently asked questions
