A cycle per second is a Hertz, abbreviated Hz. Therefore, a billion cycles per second (assuming an American, or "short scale", billion) is a Gigahertz (GHz).

How do you turn megahertz into gigahertz?

Divide the number of MegaHertz (MHz) by 1000. The resulting answer is in GigaHertz (GHz). Two examples: 1000 MHz divided by 1000 = 1 GHz or 5000 MHz divided by 1000 = 5 GHz A way to perhaps remember the correlation between MHz and GHz is to remember that 1 MHz equals one million Hertz (Hz), or one million Cycles Per Second. 1GHz equals one billion Hertz, or one billion Cycles Per Second.
