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 263 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 263 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

263 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 263 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 155.82323974096 kt

The final result is:

263 ft/s → 155.82323974096 kt

We conclude that 263 feet per second is equivalent to 155.82323974096 knots:

263 feet per second = 155.82323974096 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0064175279737633 × 263 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 263 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0064175279737633 knots.

Approximate result

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

263 ft/s ≅ 155.823 kt

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