Revolutions per minute to kilohertz

1 revolution per minute in kilohertz
1 rpm = 0.00001667 kHz
kHz = rpm × 0.000016666667

To convert revolutions per minute to kilohertz, multiply by 0.000016666667. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

How the conversion works

The relationship is kHz = rpm × 0.000016666667. Both units measure frequency, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

How many kilohertz are in one revolution per minute?
One revolution per minute equals 0.00001667 kilohertz. kHz = rpm × 0.000016666667.
How do you convert revolutions per minute to kilohertz?
Use kHz = rpm × 0.000016666667. So 10 rpm is 0.0001667 kHz.
How many revolutions per minute are in one kilohertz?
One kilohertz equals 60,000 revolutions per minute, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
