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 170 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 170 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

170 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 170 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 91.792656587626 kt

The final result is:

170 km/h → 91.792656587626 kt

We conclude that 170 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 91.792656587626 knots:

170 kilometers per hour = 91.792656587626 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.010894117647041 × 170 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 170 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.010894117647041 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred seventy kilometers per hour is approximately ninety-one point seven nine three knots:

170 km/h ≅ 91.793 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one one times one hundred seventy kilometers per hour.
