Answer Notes
Frequencies in amateur radio are often expressed using metric prefixes where "Mega" (M) stands for millions and "Giga" (G) stands for billions.
To convert from megahertz (MHz) to gigahertz (GHz), you must divide the value by 1,000, since one gigahertz equals one thousand megahertz. Moving the decimal point three places to the left converts 2425 MHz into 2.425 GHz.
Selecting 24.25 GHz or 0.002425 GHz is the result of shifting the decimal point by the wrong factor, which is a common error when converting between metric prefixes.
