Might help!
Giga (G)		$10^9$	$1 \text{ GHz} = 10^9 \text{ Hz}$
Mega (M)		$10^6$	$1 \text{ MHz} = 10^6 \text{ Hz}$
Kilo (k)		$10^3$	$1 \text{ kHz} = 10^3 \text{ Hz}$
Milli (m)		$10^{-3}$	$1 \text{ ms} = 10^{-3} \text{ s}$
Micro ($\mu$)		$10^{-6}$	$1 \text{ }\mu\text{s} = 10^{-6} \text{ s}$
Nano (n)		$10^{-9}$	$1 \text{ ns} = 10^{-9} \text{ s}$

nice explaination..

Answer 2

\[f_{\text{last}} = \frac{1}{T_{\text{last}}}\]\[f_{\text{last}} = \frac{1}{64 \times 10^{-6}}\]\[f_{\text{last}} = 15625 \text{ Hz} = 15.625 \text{ kHz}\]\[f_{\text{last}} = \frac{f_{\text{input}}}{2^4} = \frac{f_{\text{input}}}{16}\]\[f_{\text{input}} = f_{\text{last}} \times 16\]\[f_{\text{input}} = 15625 \times 16 = 250000 \text{ Hz} = 250 \text{ kHz}\]
