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 1588 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1588 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

1588 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1588 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 857.45140388912 kt

The final result is:

1588 km/h → 857.45140388912 kt

We conclude that 1588 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 857.45140388912 knots:

1588 kilometers per hour = 857.45140388912 knots

Alternative conversion
