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 1587 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1587 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
1587 km/h → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 1587 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt
V(kt) = 856.91144708566 kt
The final result is:
1587 km/h → 856.91144708566 kt
We conclude that 1587 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 856.91144708566 knots:
1587 kilometers per hour = 856.91144708566 knots
