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 238.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 238.7 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

238.7 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 238.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 141.42588336945 kt

The final result is:

238.7 ft/s → 141.42588336945 kt

We conclude that 238.7 feet per second is equivalent to 141.42588336945 knots:

238.7 feet per second = 141.42588336945 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0070708414625041 × 238.7 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 238.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0070708414625041 knots.

Approximate result

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

238.7 ft/s ≅ 141.426 kt

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