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 402 knots into miles per hour we have to multiply 402 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

402 kt → V_(mph)

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

V_(mph) = 402 kt × 1.1507794480225 mph

V_(mph) = 462.61333810506 mph

The final result is:

402 kt → 462.61333810506 mph

We conclude that 402 knots is equivalent to 462.61333810506 miles per hour:
