About these units

Road speeds are given in kilometers per hour in most countries and in miles per hour in the US and the UK. 1 mph is exactly 1.609344 km/h, because a mile is 1,609.344 m. Science and engineering use meters per second (1 m/s = 3.6 km/h), and ships and aircraft use knots: one nautical mile (1,852 m) per hour, about 1.852 km/h or 1.151 mph.

FAQ

› How do I convert km/h to mph?

1 km/h = 0.6213711922 mph. To convert, divide the value by 1.609344: 5 km/h = 3.106855961 mph.

› What is 1 mph in km/h?
