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 120 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 120 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

120 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 120 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 64.794816414795 kt

The final result is:

120 km/h → 64.794816414795 kt

We conclude that 120 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 64.794816414795 knots:

120 kilometers per hour = 64.794816414795 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.015433333333308 × 120 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 120 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.015433333333308 knots.

Approximate result

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

120 km/h ≅ 64.795 kt

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