Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 142 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 142 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

142 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 142 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 262.98399999956 km/h

The final result is:

142 kt → 262.98399999956 km/h

We conclude that 142 knots is equivalent to 262.98399999956 kilometers per hour:

142 knots = 262.98399999956 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.0038025127003987 × 142 knots.

Another way is saying that 142 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0038025127003987 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

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

142 kt ≅ 262.984 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero zero four times one hundred forty-two knots.
