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 1708 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1708 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

1708 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1708 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1011.9623326143 kt

The final result is:

1708 ft/s → 1011.9623326143 kt

We conclude that 1708 feet per second is equivalent to 1011.9623326143 knots:

1708 feet per second = 1011.9623326143 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00098817907324341 × 1708 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1708 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00098817907324341 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seven hundred eight feet per second is approximately one thousand eleven point nine six two knots:

1708 ft/s ≅ 1011.962 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred eight feet per second.
