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 1990 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1990 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

1990 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1990 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1179.0427645799 kt

The final result is:

1990 ft/s → 1179.0427645799 kt

We conclude that 1990 feet per second is equivalent to 1179.0427645799 knots:

1990 feet per second = 1179.0427645799 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00084814565683404 × 1990 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1990 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00084814565683404 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 ninety feet per second is approximately one thousand one hundred seventy-nine point zero four three knots:

1990 ft/s ≅ 1179.043 kt

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