Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1636 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1636 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1636 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1636 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 969.30349892092 kt

The final result is:

1636 ft/s → 969.30349892092 kt

We conclude that 1636 feet per second is equivalent to 969.30349892092 knots:

1636 feet per second = 969.30349892092 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010316686168091 × 1636 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1636 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010316686168091 knots.

Approximate result

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

1636 ft/s ≅ 969.303 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand six hundred thirty-six feet per second.
