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 40.4 knots into miles per hour we have to multiply 40.4 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

40.4 kt → V_(mph)

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

V_(mph) = 40.4 kt × 1.1507794480225 mph

V_(mph) = 46.491489700111 mph

The final result is:

40.4 kt → 46.491489700111 mph

We conclude that 40.4 knots is equivalent to 46.491489700111 miles per hour:
