Conversion Definitions
km (kilometer): A kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1,000 meters. It is used worldwide to measure distances, particularly for road travel and geography. One kilometer equals about 0.621371 miles, making it shorter than a mile.
mph (miles per hour): Miles per hour measures speed in imperial units, indicating how many miles are traveled in one hour. It is commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom for speed limits and vehicle speeds. One mph equals approximately 1.60934 kilometers per hour.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor 0.621371 used for converting km to mph?
The factor 0.621371 is derived from the ratio between the length of a mile and a kilometer. Since 1 mile equals approximately 1.60934 kilometers, dividing 1 by 1.60934 gives about 0.621371. This factor converts kilometers into miles accurately for speed or distance.
Can I use this conversion for walking speed measurements?
You can, but walking speeds are often measured in meters per second or kilometers per hour for more precision in short distances. Using mph is common in countries using imperial units, but for walking, smaller units are usually more practical.
Does converting km/h to mph change the physical speed?
No, converting units does not change the physical speed. It only expresses the same speed in different measurement systems. 146 km/h and 90.71 mph represent the same actual velocity, just in different units.
Is the conversion factor exact or approximate?
The factor 0.621371 is a rounded value but very precise for everyday use. The exact conversion is an irrational number, but 0.621371 is close enough for most practical calculations involving speed or distance.
How to convert mph back to km/h?
To convert miles per hour back to kilometers per hour, multiply the mph value by 1.60934. This reverses the conversion process, because 1 mile equals about 1.60934 kilometers.
