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 172 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 172 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

172 km/h → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 172 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V(kt) = 92.872570194539 kt

The final result is:

172 km/h → 92.872570194539 kt

We conclude that 172 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 92.872570194539 knots:

172 kilometers per hour = 92.872570194539 knots
