Put 70 miles per hour into the exact factor of 1.609344 and you get 112.65408 km/h. Written out: 70 × 1.609344 = 112.65408 kilometers per hour, with no rounding applied until the final display.

112.654 km/h is 31.29 metres per second. Allowing one second of reaction time and braking at 0.8 g — a competent car on dry asphalt — the total stopping distance is about 93.7 m, of which 31.3 m is covered before the brakes bite. Stopping distance grows with the square of speed, which is why the figure climbs so fast.

The result sits 2.654 km/h past 110 km/h, so if you need a round figure to quote, 110 km/h is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: multiply by 1.6 instead of using the exact factor 1.609344. At 70 that shortcut gives 112 kilometers per hour, off by 0.6541 kilometers per hour or about 0.58%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
