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 1072 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1072 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

1072 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1072 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 578.8336933055 kt

The final result is:

1072 km/h → 578.8336933055 kt

We conclude that 1072 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 578.8336933055 knots:

1072 kilometers per hour = 578.8336933055 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0017276119402956 × 1072 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 1072 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017276119402956 knots.

Approximate result

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

1072 km/h ≅ 578.834 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand seventy-two kilometers per hour.
