Under what context are you asking?
This makes no sense if you're talking about a single number, but if the microseconds is an interval, then there's a conversion available:

That said, generically, in universal high school mathematics:

[Moved to the Lounge instead of General, as this is is not a display/graphics context]

Hz is a frequency. So likewise, interval versus frequency:
Hz = 1/interval
interval = 1/Hz

For example, frametime is an interval, and framerate is a frequency:
Framerate = 1/frametime
Frametime = 1/framerate

And mouse poll rate is a frequency, which also has a poll interval.
poll rate = 1/poll interval
poll interval = 1/pollrate

So 125 microsecond interval would be 8000 Hz frequency, in the context of an overclocked mouse poll rate.

1/8000 second = 0.000125 second = 0.125 millisecond = 125 microsecond
