Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 247 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 247 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

247 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 247 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 416.88903470364 ft/s

The final result is:

247 kt → 416.88903470364 ft/s

We conclude that 247 knots is equivalent to 416.88903470364 feet per second:

247 knots = 416.88903470364 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0023987198433053 × 247 knots.

Another way is saying that 247 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023987198433053 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

247 kt ≅ 416.889 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred forty-seven knots.
