Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 266 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 266 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

266 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 266 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 143.62850971946 kt

The final result is:

266 km/h → 143.62850971946 kt

We conclude that 266 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 143.62850971946 knots:

266 kilometers per hour = 143.62850971946 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.006962406015026 × 266 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 266 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.006962406015026 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred sixty-six kilometers per hour is approximately one hundred forty-three point six two nine knots:

266 km/h ≅ 143.629 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred sixty-six kilometers per hour.
