How this was calculated
- 1.Convert 100 km/h to the base unit: 100 × 0.277778 = 27.777778.
- 2.Convert the base unit into miles per hour: 27.777778 ÷ 0.44704 = 62.137119.
- 3.So 100 km/h = 62.137119 mph.
Conversion factors are exact definitions, not approximations.
How the speed calculation works
One metre per second is 3.6 km/h and about 2.237 mph. Because the factor between km/h and mph is roughly 1.609, a quick mental conversion is to multiply miles by 1.6 to get kilometres.
Knots are nautical miles per hour — 1.852 km/h — and are used at sea and in the air because they align with degrees of latitude.
Worked example
Convert 100 km/h to mph.
