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 1260 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1260 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

1260 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1260 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 680.34557235534 kt

The final result is:

1260 km/h → 680.34557235534 kt

We conclude that 1260 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 680.34557235534 knots:

1260 kilometers per hour = 680.34557235534 knots

Alternative conversion
