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 1718 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1718 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

1718 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1718 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1017.8871706272 kt

The final result is:

1718 ft/s → 1017.8871706272 kt

We conclude that 1718 feet per second is equivalent to 1017.8871706272 knots:

1718 feet per second = 1017.8871706272 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00098242715779961 × 1718 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1718 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00098242715779961 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 eighteen feet per second is approximately one thousand seventeen point eight eight seven knots:

1718 ft/s ≅ 1017.887 kt

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