Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 242 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 242 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

242 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 242 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 470.41036717103 kt

The final result is:

242 m/s → 470.41036717103 kt

We conclude that 242 meters per second is equivalent to 470.41036717103 knots:

242 meters per second = 470.41036717103 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.002125803489438 × 242 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 242 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002125803489438 knots.

Approximate result

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

242 m/s ≅ 470.41 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred forty-two meters per second.
