Revolutions per Minute to Kilohertz Converter
1 revolution per minute ≈ 0.0000166666667 kilohertz
1 revolution per minute equals 0.0000166667 kilohertz
How to convert revolutions per minute to kilohertz
Hertz counts complete cycles per second. This converter treats one revolution as one cycle, so 60 rpm = 1 Hz; angular frequency in radians per second would additionally involve 2π.
kHz = rpm × 0.00001666666667One revolution per minute is 0.00001666666667 kilohertz, so a single multiplication converts any value.

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
