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 1493 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1493 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

1493 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1493 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 806.15550756074 kt

The final result is:

1493 km/h → 806.15550756074 kt

We conclude that 1493 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 806.15550756074 knots:

1493 kilometers per hour = 806.15550756074 knots

Alternative conversion
