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 1080 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1080 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

1080 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1080 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 583.15334773315 kt

The final result is:

1080 km/h → 583.15334773315 kt

We conclude that 1080 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 583.15334773315 knots:

1080 kilometers per hour = 583.15334773315 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.001714814814812 × 1080 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 1080 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001714814814812 knots.

Approximate result

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

1080 km/h ≅ 583.153 kt

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