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 4200 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 4200 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

4200 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4200 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 3649.7002159859 kt

The final result is:

4200 mph → 3649.7002159859 kt

We conclude that 4200 miles per hour is equivalent to 3649.7002159859 knots:
