Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 230 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 230 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

230 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 230 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 425.95999999929 km/h

The final result is:

230 kt → 425.95999999929 km/h

We conclude that 230 knots is equivalent to 425.95999999929 kilometers per hour:

230 knots = 425.95999999929 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.0023476382758984 × 230 knots.

Another way is saying that 230 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023476382758984 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred thirty knots is approximately four hundred twenty-five point nine six kilometers per hour:

230 kt ≅ 425.96 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred thirty knots.
