Teaching & troubleshooting tips

Can I convert knots?

Knots aren't included in the default set. Multiply knots by 1.852 to get km/h, then use the converter for other units.

Why does m/s show repeating decimals?

Many conversions produce repeating decimals; the tool rounds to four places for readability.
