Using a $$3.19\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{{-}1}$$ data sample collected at an $${e}^{+}{e}^{{-}}$$ center-of-mass energy of $${E}_{\mathrm{cm}}=4.178\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$$ with the BESIII detector, we measure the branching fraction of the leptonic decay $${D}_{s}^{+}{\rightarrow}{{\mu}}^{+}{{\nu}}_{{\mu}}$$ to be $${\mathcal{B}}_{{D}_{s}^{+}{\rightarrow}{{\mu}}^{+}{{\nu}}_{{\mu}}}=(5.49\pm{}0.1{6}_{\text{stat}}\pm{}0.1{5}_{\text{syst}})\times{}{10}^{{-}3}$$. Combining our branching fraction with the masses of the $${D}_{s}^{+}$$ and $${{\mu}}^{+}$$ and the lifetime of the $${D}_{s}^{+}$$, we determine $${f}_{{D}_{s}^{+}}|{V}_{cs}|=246.2\pm{}3.{6}_{\text{stat}}\pm{}3.{5}_{\text{syst}}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$$. Using the $$c{\rightarrow}s$$ quark mixing matrix element $$|{V}_{cs}|$$ determined from a global standard model fit, we evaluate the $${D}_{s}^{+}$$ decay constant $${f}_{{D}_{s}^{+}}=252.9\pm{}3.{7}_{\text{stat}}\pm{}3.{6}_{\text{syst}}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$$. Alternatively, using the value of $${f}_{{D}_{s}^{+}}$$ calculated by lattice quantum chromodynamics, we find $$|{V}_{cs}|=0.985\pm{}0.01{4}_{\text{stat}}\pm{}0.01{4}_{\text{syst}}$$. These values of $${\mathcal{B}}_{{D}_{s}^{+}{\rightarrow}{{\mu}}^{+}{{\nu}}_{{\mu}}}$$, $${f}_{{D}_{s}^{+}}|{V}_{cs}|$$, $${f}_{{D}_{s}^{+}}$$ and $$|{V}_{cs}|$$ are each the most precise results to date.
