Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 10.8 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 10.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

10.8 km/h → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 10.8 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 5.8315334773315 kt

The final result is:

10.8 km/h → 5.8315334773315 kt

We conclude that 10.8 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 5.8315334773315 knots:

10.8 kilometers per hour = 5.8315334773315 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.1714814814812 × 10.8 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 10.8 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.1714814814812 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten point eight kilometers per hour is approximately five point eight three two knots:

10.8 km/h ≅ 5.832 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one seven one times ten point eight kilometers per hour.
