let's say I have a processor runs at 100MHZ frequency how can I compute from this it's clock time for each cycle? I know that Frequency = 1 / Clock Time but I am having trouble to fully understand how to manually convert it for example, to a nanosecond, given the frequency.
Thanks!
$$ \text{Frequency} = \frac{1} { \text{Clock time} } $$
or
$$ \text{Clock time} = \frac{1} { \text{Frequency} } $$
$$ \text{Clock time} = \frac{1} { \text{Frequency} } = \frac{1} { 100 \text{ MHz} } $$
$$ = \frac{1}{ (1 \cdot 10^2 \cdot 10^6) \text{ Hz} } = \frac{1}{ (1 \cdot 10^8) \text{ Hz} } = 1 \cdot 10^{-8} \text{ s} = 1 \cdot 10^1 \cdot 10^{-9} s = 10 \text{ ns} $$
