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 1553 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1553 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

1553 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1553 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 798.93222222153 m/s

The final result is:

1553 kt → 798.93222222153 m/s

We conclude that 1553 knots is equivalent to 798.93222222153 meters per second:

1553 knots = 798.93222222153 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 0.0012516706326093 × 1553 knots.

Another way is saying that 1553 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012516706326093 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 five hundred fifty-three knots is approximately seven hundred ninety-eight point nine three two meters per second:

1553 kt ≅ 798.932 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand five hundred fifty-three knots.
