Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 1079 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 1079 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

1079 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 1079 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1998.3079999967 km/h

The final result is:

1079 kt → 1998.3079999967 km/h

We conclude that 1079 knots is equivalent to 1998.3079999967 kilometers per hour:

1079 knots = 1998.3079999967 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
