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 240 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 240 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

240 kt → V_(km/h)

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

V_(km/h) = 240 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 444.47999999926 km/h

The final result is:

240 kt → 444.47999999926 km/h

We conclude that 240 knots is equivalent to 444.47999999926 kilometers per hour:

240 knots = 444.47999999926 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 0.0022498200144026 × 240 knots.

Another way is saying that 240 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022498200144026 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 forty knots is approximately four hundred forty-four point four eight kilometers per hour:

240 kt ≅ 444.48 km/h

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