22 mph is equal to approximately 35.4056 kmh.
To convert miles per hour (mph) to kilometers per hour (kmh), multiply the mph value by 1.60934. This conversion factor comes from the fact that 1 mile equals 1.60934 kilometers.

Conversion Formula
To convert mph to kmh, multiply the miles-per-hour value by 1.60934. This number represents how many kilometers are in one mile.
This works because the mile and kilometer measure distance, but kilometers are longer, so speeds in kmh will be larger numbers. The formula is:
kmh = mph × 1.60934
Example: Converting 22 mph to kmh:
- Start with 22 mph.
- Multiply 22 by 1.60934.
- 22 × 1.60934 = 35.40548 kmh.
- Rounded to four decimal places, that is 35.4055 kmh.
Conversion Example
- 15 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 15 by 1.60934.
- 15 × 1.60934 = 24.1401 kmh.
- 30 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 30 by 1.60934.
- 30 × 1.60934 = 48.2802 kmh.
- 45 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 45 by 1.60934.
- 45 × 1.60934 = 72.4203 kmh.
- 10 mph to kmh:
- Multiply 10 by 1.60934.
- 10 × 1.60934 = 16.0934 kmh.

Conversion Definitions
mph: Miles per hour (mph) is a unit measuring speed in the imperial system. It indicates how many miles are traveled in one hour. Used mainly in the United States and a few other countries, mph quantifies speed for vehicles, aviation, and other movement contexts.
kmh: Kilometers per hour (kmh) is a metric system unit for speed. It shows how many kilometers are covered in one hour. Most countries use kmh to measure vehicle speeds, road limits, and travel velocities, offering a metric alternative to mph.
Conversion FAQs
Why does converting mph to kmh result in a larger number?
Since one mile is longer than one kilometer, the same speed measured in mph appears smaller than it does in kmh. Multiplying by 1.60934 scales up the value, because 1 mile equals 1.60934 kilometers, so the kmh number will be higher for the same speed.
Can mph be converted to kmh by dividing instead of multiplying?
No, dividing by 1.60934 would give an incorrect result. To convert mph to kmh, you multiply by 1.60934 because you want to find how many kilometers correspond to the miles measured. Division would mean converting kmh back to mph.
Is the conversion factor 1.6 or 1.60934?
The precise conversion factor is 1.60934, representing the exact number of kilometers in a mile. Sometimes, 1.6 is used as a rough estimate for quick calculations, but it will be less accurate, especially for precise speed conversions.
How does negative mph values affect conversion?
Negative mph values represent movement in the opposite direction or a reduction in speed. When converted, the negative sign remains, and the kmh value is also negative, preserving direction or context, although negative speeds are not common in practical terms.
Is there a difference between km/h and kmh?
“km/h” and “kmh” both represent kilometers per hour. The slash “/” is standard notation, but dropping it is informal and mostly the same. Both are understood to mean speed measured in kilometers over time in hours.
