Best Answer

A cesium-133 atom makes 9,192,631,770 cycles per second.

Divide it by 4.5 million:

9,192,631,770 / 4,500,000 = 2042.807

Divide 1 second by 2042.807 and the result is 4.895 *10^-4 seconds.

If you multiply it by 10^6 you get microseconds:

4.895*10^-4 * 10^6 microseconds/second and that equals 489.5 microseconds.
