Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

To convert 1627 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 1627 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

1627 kt → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 1627 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 837.00111111039 m/s

The final result is:

1627 kt → 837.00111111039 m/s

We conclude that 1627 knots is equivalent to 837.00111111039 meters per second:

1627 knots = 837.00111111039 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0011947415442178 × 1627 knots.

Another way is saying that 1627 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011947415442178 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand six hundred twenty-seven knots is approximately eight hundred thirty-seven point zero zero one meters per second:

1627 kt ≅ 837.001 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand six hundred twenty-seven knots.
