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 1597 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1597 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

1597 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1597 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 862.31101512023 kt

The final result is:

1597 km/h → 862.31101512023 kt

We conclude that 1597 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 862.31101512023 knots:

1597 kilometers per hour = 862.31101512023 knots

Alternative conversion
