Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 117 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 117 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

117 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 117 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 227.42980561575 kt

The final result is:

117 m/s → 227.42980561575 kt

We conclude that 117 meters per second is equivalent to 227.42980561575 knots:

117 meters per second = 227.42980561575 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0043969610636239 × 117 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 117 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0043969610636239 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred seventeen meters per second is approximately two hundred twenty-seven point four three knots:

117 m/s ≅ 227.43 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times one hundred seventeen meters per second.
