Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 157 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 157 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

157 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 157 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 264.98614756466 ft/s

The final result is:

157 kt → 264.98614756466 ft/s

We conclude that 157 knots is equivalent to 264.98614756466 feet per second:

157 knots = 264.98614756466 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0037737821738625 × 157 knots.

Another way is saying that 157 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037737821738625 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

157 kt ≅ 264.986 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times one hundred fifty-seven knots.
