How to Convert Nanoseconds to Microseconds

To convert nanoseconds to microseconds, multiply the number of nanoseconds by 0.0010.0010.001 (since 1 nanosecond is equal to 0.001 microseconds).

Microseconds=Nanoseconds×0.001

Example:

Convert 2,000 nanoseconds to microseconds:

Microseconds=2,000×0.001=2 microseconds

How to Convert Microseconds to Nanoseconds:

To convert microseconds to nanoseconds, multiply the number of microseconds by 1,000.

Nanoseconds=Microseconds×1,000

Example:

Convert 3 microseconds to nanoseconds.

Nanoseconds=3×1,000=3,000 nanoseconds
