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 117 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 117 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

117 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 117 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 63.174946004425 kt

The final result is:

117 km/h → 63.174946004425 kt

We conclude that 117 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 63.174946004425 knots:

117 kilometers per hour = 63.174946004425 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.015829059829033 × 117 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 117 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.015829059829033 knots.

Approximate result

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

117 km/h ≅ 63.175 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one six times one hundred seventeen kilometers per hour.
