Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 1580 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 1580 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

1580 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1580 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 3071.2742980588 kt

The final result is:

1580 m/s → 3071.2742980588 kt

We conclude that 1580 meters per second is equivalent to 3071.2742980588 knots:

1580 meters per second = 3071.2742980588 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0003255977496481 × 1580 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 1580 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003255977496481 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 eighty meters per second is approximately three thousand seventy-one point two seven four knots:

1580 m/s ≅ 3071.274 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times one thousand five hundred eighty meters per second.
