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 1585 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1585 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

1585 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1585 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 855.83153347875 kt

The final result is:

1585 km/h → 855.83153347875 kt

We conclude that 1585 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 855.83153347875 knots:

1585 kilometers per hour = 855.83153347875 knots

Alternative conversion
