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 1591 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1591 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

1591 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1591 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 859.07127429949 kt

The final result is:

1591 km/h → 859.07127429949 kt

We conclude that 1591 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 859.07127429949 knots:

1591 kilometers per hour = 859.07127429949 knots
