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 406 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 406 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

406 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 406 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 352.80435421197 kt

The final result is:

406 mph → 352.80435421197 kt

We conclude that 406 miles per hour is equivalent to 352.80435421197 knots:
