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 1053 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1053 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

1053 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1053 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 623.88544276512 kt

The final result is:

1053 ft/s → 623.88544276512 kt

We conclude that 1053 feet per second is equivalent to 623.88544276512 knots:

1053 feet per second = 623.88544276512 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016028583638174 × 1053 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1053 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016028583638174 knots.

Approximate result

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

1053 ft/s ≅ 623.885 kt

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