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 2040 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 2040 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

2040 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2040 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 1772.7115334789 kt

The final result is:

2040 mph → 1772.7115334789 kt

We conclude that 2040 miles per hour is equivalent to 1772.7115334789 knots:
