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 1988 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1988 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

1988 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1988 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 1073.4341252718 kt

The final result is:

1988 km/h → 1073.4341252718 kt

We conclude that 1988 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1073.4341252718 knots:

1988 kilometers per hour = 1073.4341252718 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00093158953722179 × 1988 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 1988 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00093158953722179 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand nine hundred eighty-eight kilometers per hour is approximately one thousand seventy-three point four three four knots:

1988 km/h ≅ 1073.434 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand nine hundred eighty-eight kilometers per hour.
