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 231.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 231.9 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

231.9 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 231.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 137.39699352064 kt

The final result is:

231.9 ft/s → 137.39699352064 kt

We conclude that 231.9 feet per second is equivalent to 137.39699352064 knots:

231.9 feet per second = 137.39699352064 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0072781796338928 × 231.9 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 231.9 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0072781796338928 knots.

Approximate result

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

231.9 ft/s ≅ 137.397 kt

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