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 18 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 18 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

18 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 18 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 9.7192224622192 kt

The final result is:

18 km/h → 9.7192224622192 kt

We conclude that 18 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 9.7192224622192 knots:

18 kilometers per hour = 9.7192224622192 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.10288888888872 × 18 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 18 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.10288888888872 knots.

Approximate result

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

18 km/h ≅ 9.719 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one zero three times eighteen kilometers per hour.
