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 116.8 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 116.8 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

116.8 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 116.8 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 101.49642505408 kt

The final result is:

116.8 mph → 101.49642505408 kt

We conclude that 116.8 miles per hour is equivalent to 101.49642505408 knots:
