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 500 knots into miles per hour we have to multiply 500 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

500 kt → V_(mph)

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

V_(mph) = 500 kt × 1.1507794480225 mph

V_(mph) = 575.38972401127 mph

The final result is:

500 kt → 575.38972401127 mph

We conclude that 500 knots is equivalent to 575.38972401127 miles per hour:

500 knots = 575.38972401127 miles per hour
