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 16.4 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 16.4 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

16.4 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 16.4 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 14.251210367183 kt

The final result is:

16.4 mph → 14.251210367183 kt

We conclude that 16.4 miles per hour is equivalent to 14.251210367183 knots:

16.4 miles per hour = 14.251210367183 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.07016947853796 × 16.4 miles per hour.

Another way is saying that 16.4 miles per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.07016947853796 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that sixteen point four miles per hour is approximately fourteen point two five one knots:

16.4 mph ≅ 14.251 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero seven times sixteen point four miles per hour.
