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 268.3 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 268.3 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

268.3 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 268.3 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 158.96340388783 kt

The final result is:

268.3 ft/s → 158.96340388783 kt

We conclude that 268.3 feet per second is equivalent to 158.96340388783 knots:

268.3 feet per second = 158.96340388783 knots

Alternative conversion
