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 1590 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1590 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

1590 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1590 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 858.53131749603 kt

The final result is:

1590 km/h → 858.53131749603 kt

We conclude that 1590 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 858.53131749603 knots:

1590 kilometers per hour = 858.53131749603 knots

Alternative conversion
