Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 17 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 17 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

17 kt → V(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V(km/h) = 17 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V(km/h) = 31.483999999948 km/h

The final result is:

17 kt → 31.483999999948 km/h

We conclude that 17 knots is equivalent to 31.483999999948 kilometers per hour:

17 knots = 31.483999999948 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.031762164909213 × 17 knots.

Another way is saying that 17 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.031762164909213 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seventeen knots is approximately thirty-one point four eight four kilometers per hour:

17 kt ≅ 31.484 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero three two times seventeen knots.
