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 197 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 197 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

197 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 197 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 116.71930885539 kt

The final result is:

197 ft/s → 116.71930885539 kt

We conclude that 197 feet per second is equivalent to 116.71930885539 knots:

197 feet per second = 116.71930885539 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0085675627263946 × 197 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 197 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0085675627263946 knots.

Approximate result

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

197 ft/s ≅ 116.719 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero nine times one hundred ninety-seven feet per second.
