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 236 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 236 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

236 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 236 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 139.82617710595 kt

The final result is:

236 ft/s → 139.82617710595 kt

We conclude that 236 feet per second is equivalent to 139.82617710595 knots:

236 feet per second = 139.82617710595 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.007151736682626 × 236 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 236 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.007151736682626 knots.

Approximate result

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

236 ft/s ≅ 139.826 kt

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