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 1266 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1266 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

1266 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1266 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 683.58531317608 kt

The final result is:

1266 km/h → 683.58531317608 kt

We conclude that 1266 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 683.58531317608 knots:

1266 kilometers per hour = 683.58531317608 knots

Alternative conversion
