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 720 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 720 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

720 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 720 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 625.66289416901 kt

The final result is:

720 mph → 625.66289416901 kt

We conclude that 720 miles per hour is equivalent to 625.66289416901 knots:
