About Converting Centihertz to Attohertz
Centihertz and Attohertz both describe how fast something cycles or rotates, and the conversion is a routine part of reading a car tachometer or motor spec sheet against a scientific frequency figure. Specifically: Centihertz is 0.01 hertz units, and attohertz is 1e-18 hertz units.
Formula
attohertz = centihertz × 1e+16
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centihertz equals 0.01 base units, and 1 attohertz equals 1e-18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centihertz-to-attohertz factor of 1e+16.
Simple example
1 cHz × 1e+16 = 1e+16 aHz
1 centihertz = 1e+16 attohertz.
Real-world example
1,000 cHz × 1e+16 = 1e+19 aHz
1,000 centihertz = 1e+19 attohertz.

Frequently asked questions
How many attohertz are in 1 centihertz?
1 centihertz equals 1e+16 attohertz, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centihertz to attohertz?
Multiply the centihertz value by 1e+16. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert attohertz back to centihertz?
Use the reverse factor: 1 attohertz equals 1e-16 centihertz. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centihertz?
Centihertz (cHz) is a unit of frequency.
What is a attohertz?
Attohertz (aHz) is a unit of frequency.
Is the centihertz to attohertz conversion exact?
Yes. Both centihertz and attohertz are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e+16 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
