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 501 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 501 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

501 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 501 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 435.3570971926 kt

The final result is:

501 mph → 435.3570971926 kt

We conclude that 501 miles per hour is equivalent to 435.3570971926 knots:
