Conversion formula

The conversion factor from miles per hour to knots is 0.8689762419014, which means that 1 mile per hour is equal to 0.8689762419014 knots:

1 mph = 0.8689762419014 kt

To convert 1000 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 1000 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from miles per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mph → 0.8689762419014 kt

1000 mph → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1000 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 868.9762419014 kt

The final result is:

1000 mph → 868.9762419014 kt

We conclude that 1000 miles per hour is equivalent to 868.9762419014 knots:
