Convert Nanoseconds to Microseconds

Nanoseconds → Microseconds
ns × 0.001 = µs µs × 1000 = ns

To convert nanoseconds (ns) to microseconds (µs), multiply the nanoseconds value by 0.001. 1 ns = 0.001 µs, and 1 µs = 1000 ns. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert µs to ns.
