Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 123 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 123 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

123 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 123 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 72.875507559458 kt

The final result is:

123 ft/s → 72.875507559458 kt

We conclude that 123 feet per second is equivalent to 72.875507559458 knots:

123 feet per second = 72.875507559458 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.013722031358534 × 123 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 123 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.013722031358534 knots.

Approximate result

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

123 ft/s ≅ 72.876 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one four times one hundred twenty-three feet per second.
