Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

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

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

266 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 266 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 136.8422222221 m/s

The final result is:

266 kt → 136.8422222221 m/s

We conclude that 266 knots is equivalent to 136.8422222221 meters per second:

266 knots = 136.8422222221 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0073076860618131 × 266 knots.

Another way is saying that 266 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0073076860618131 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

266 kt ≅ 136.842 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred sixty-six knots.
