Conversion formula

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 580 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 580 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

580 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 580 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 504.00622030281 kt

The final result is:

580 mph → 504.00622030281 kt

We conclude that 580 miles per hour is equivalent to 504.00622030281 knots:
