Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1047 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1047 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1047 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1047 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 620.33053995734 kt

The final result is:

1047 ft/s → 620.33053995734 kt

We conclude that 1047 feet per second is equivalent to 620.33053995734 knots:

1047 feet per second = 620.33053995734 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016120437985671 × 1047 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1047 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016120437985671 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand forty-seven feet per second is approximately six hundred twenty point three three one knots:

1047 ft/s ≅ 620.331 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand forty-seven feet per second.
