Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to miles per hour is 1.1507794480225, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.1507794480225 miles per hour:

1 kt = 1.1507794480225 mph

To convert 23 knots into miles per hour we have to multiply 23 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to miles per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.1507794480225 mph

23 kt → V_(mph)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in miles per hour:

V_(mph) = 23 kt × 1.1507794480225 mph

V_(mph) = 26.467927304519 mph

The final result is:

23 kt → 26.467927304519 mph

We conclude that 23 knots is equivalent to 26.467927304519 miles per hour:

23 knots = 26.467927304519 miles per hour
