How to convert revolutions per minute to kilohertz
Multiply the number of revolutions per minute by 0.0000166667 to get kilohertz: kHz = rpm × 0.0000166667.
Example: 5 rpm = 0.0000833333 kHz.
The revolution per minute (rpm) and the kilohertz (kHz) are both units of frequency. Need the opposite direction? Use the kHz to rpm converter.

Metric and imperial units
The metric system (SI) is used by almost every country and by science worldwide. Its units scale by powers of ten – 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters, 1 meter is 100 centimeters – which makes conversions inside the system easy. The imperial and US customary systems (inches, feet, pounds, gallons) are still used daily in the United States and partly in the UK.
Since 1959 the inch has been defined as exactly 2.54 centimeters and the pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so conversions between the two systems are exact. Note that a US gallon (3.785 L) and an imperial gallon (4.546 L) are different – choose the right one above.
This converter covers 18 categories and 106 units: length, weight, temperature, volume, area, speed, time, data, energy, pressure, power, angle, force, torque, frequency, flow rate, illuminance, density.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilohertz are in a revolution per minute?
1 revolution per minute = 0.0000166667 kilohertz.
How do I convert revolutions per minute to kilohertz?
Use the formula kHz = rpm × 0.0000166667. For example, 5 rpm = 0.0000833333 kHz.
How do I convert kilohertz back to revolutions per minute?
1 kilohertz = 60,000 revolutions per minute. Use the kHz to rpm converter linked on this page.
Are these conversions exact?
Yes – all factors use the internationally defined values (for example 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg exactly). Results are rounded to 8 significant digits for display.
