Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

To convert 1291 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1291 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

1291 kt → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 1291 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 664.1477777772 m/s

The final result is:

1291 kt → 664.1477777772 m/s

We conclude that 1291 knots is equivalent to 664.1477777772 meters per second:

1291 knots = 664.1477777772 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0015056889949204 × 1291 knots.

Another way is saying that 1291 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015056889949204 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred ninety-one knots is approximately six hundred sixty-four point one four eight meters per second:

1291 kt ≅ 664.148 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand two hundred ninety-one knots.
