About Converting Centihertz to Megahertz
Centihertz and Megahertz 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 megahertz is 1000000 hertz units.
Formula
megahertz = centihertz × 1e-8
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centihertz equals 0.01 base units, and 1 megahertz equals 1000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centihertz-to-megahertz factor of 1e-8.
Simple example
1 cHz × 1e-8 = 1e-8 MHz
1 centihertz = 1e-8 megahertz.
Real-world example
1,000 cHz × 1e-8 = 0.00001 MHz
1,000 centihertz = 0.00001 megahertz.

Reverse conversion: Megahertz to Centihertz
1e-8 MHz × 100000000 = 1 cHz
1e-8 megahertz = 1 centihertz.
centihertz = megahertz × 100000000

Frequently asked questions
How many megahertz are in 1 centihertz?
1 centihertz equals 1e-8 megahertz, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centihertz to megahertz?
Multiply the centihertz value by 1e-8. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megahertz back to centihertz?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megahertz equals 100,000,000 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 megahertz?
Megahertz (MHz) is a unit of frequency.
Is the centihertz to megahertz conversion exact?
Yes. Both centihertz and megahertz are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-8 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
