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 300 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 300 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

300 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 300 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 260.69287257042 kt

The final result is:

300 mph → 260.69287257042 kt

We conclude that 300 miles per hour is equivalent to 260.69287257042 knots:

300 miles per hour = 260.69287257042 knots
