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 1500 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1500 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

1500 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1500 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 809.93520518493 kt

The final result is:

1500 km/h → 809.93520518493 kt

We conclude that 1500 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 809.93520518493 knots:

1500 kilometers per hour = 809.93520518493 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0012346666666646 × 1500 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 1500 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012346666666646 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five hundred kilometers per hour is approximately eight hundred nine point nine three five knots:

1500 km/h ≅ 809.935 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand five hundred kilometers per hour.
