Conversion Formula
The formula to convert miles per hour (mph) to kilometers per hour (kmh) is:
kmh = mph × 1.60934
This works because one mile equals approximately 1.60934 kilometers. So, when you multiply the speed in miles per hour by 1.60934, you get the speed in kilometers per hour. The factor 1.60934 is constant for all conversions.
For example, to convert 22 mph:
- Multiply 22 by 1.60934
- 22 × 1.60934 = 35.40548 kmh
- Rounded, this is about 35.405 kmh
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 10 by 1.60934
- 10 × 1.60934 = 16.0934 kmh
- Result: 16.0934 kmh
- Convert 35 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 35 by 1.60934
- 35 × 1.60934 = 56.3269 kmh
- Result: 56.3269 kmh
- Convert 5.5 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 5.5 by 1.60934
- 5.5 × 1.60934 = 8.85137 kmh
- Result: 8.8514 kmh (rounded)
- Convert 0 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 0 by 1.60934
- 0 × 1.60934 = 0 kmh
- Result: 0 kmh

Conversion Definitions
mph: Miles per hour (mph) is a unit of speed expressing the number of miles traveled in one hour. It is commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring vehicle speed. 1 mph equals 1 mile covered in 60 minutes.
kmh: Kilometers per hour (kmh) measures speed as the number of kilometers traveled in one hour. It is used globally, especially in countries using the metric system. 1 kmh equals 1 kilometer traveled within 60 minutes of time.
Conversion FAQs
Why does multiplying mph by 1.60934 give the kmh value?
Multiplying mph by 1.60934 works because that number is the exact length of one mile in kilometers. Since mph measures how many miles are traveled per hour, converting those miles into kilometers uses this multiplier, giving a corresponding speed in kmh.
Can I use this conversion for speeds over 100 mph?
Yes, the same formula applies regardless of the speed value. Whether 5 mph or 150 mph, multiplying by 1.60934 converts the speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour correctly without any change in the formula.
Does this conversion affect time measurements?
No, the conversion only changes the distance unit from miles to kilometers. The time unit remains one hour in both mph and kmh, so only the distance portion of the speed is converted.
Are there common rounding errors when converting mph to kmh?
Rounding errors can happen if you cut off the decimal places too early. It’s best to keep at least four decimal places during calculations to maintain accuracy, especially for precise needs like engineering or scientific work.
Is this conversion valid for walking or running speeds?
Yes, the formula applies to any kind of speed measured in mph, including walking, running, or vehicles. The units themselves don’t restrict the conversion; it’s purely a unit change.
