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 501 knots into miles per hour we have to multiply 501 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

501 kt → V_(mph)

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

V_(mph) = 501 kt × 1.1507794480225 mph

V_(mph) = 576.5405034593 mph

The final result is:

501 kt → 576.5405034593 mph

We conclude that 501 knots is equivalent to 576.5405034593 miles per hour:
