Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the formula for speed?
A: Speed = Distance ÷ Time. If you know any two variables, you can calculate the third. The calculator handles all three scenarios.

Q: Can I convert between km/h and mph?
A: Yes. The calculator automatically converts between units. 1 mile = 1.60934 km, so to convert mph to km/h, multiply by 1.60934.

Q: How precise are the results?
A: Results are displayed with up to 4 decimal places for small values and rounded to integers for large values. This provides a good balance of accuracy and readability.
