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 240 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 240 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

240 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 240 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 208.55429805634 kt

The final result is:

240 mph → 208.55429805634 kt

We conclude that 240 miles per hour is equivalent to 208.55429805634 knots:
