The cent was introduced as a unit that allows us to calculate and consider what we heard using a logarithm scale. When we calculate using this logarithmic scale, we find that at the range of the note right in the middle of the B♭ clarinet (B, a' standing for the actual sound), 1 Hz is equal to roughly 4 cents.

How many cents is 440 to 432?
Tonal music tends to lower in pitch, and the effect may be quite more important than the difference between 440 and 432 Hz (32 cents, only about 1.5 comma).
How do you convert Hertz?
To convert hertz into a duration of seconds, divide the number of cycles by the hertz (cycles per second) figure. To convert hertz to seconds in order to find out a duration of one complete cycle, divide one second by the frequency in hertz. As an example. For a 10Hz signal, one cycle would measure 1/10 or 0.1 seconds.
How do I calculate cents?

How many Hertz is a semitone?
A semitone corresponds to multiplying a number of Hz by 21/12, which is about 1.06. From 250 to 200 Hz, the ratio is 200/250, or 4/5, which is approximately a major third, or 4 semitones. This could be calculated as 12*log(4/5)/log(2), giving you -3.86 equally-tempered semitones.
