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 27.4 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 27.4 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

27.4 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 27.4 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 14.794816414711 kt

The final result is:

27.4 km/h → 14.794816414711 kt

We conclude that 27.4 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 14.794816414711 knots:

27.4 kilometers per hour = 14.794816414711 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0675912408758 × 27.4 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 27.4 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0675912408758 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-seven point four kilometers per hour is approximately fourteen point seven nine five knots:

27.4 km/h ≅ 14.795 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero six eight times twenty-seven point four kilometers per hour.
