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 270 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 270 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

270 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 270 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 145.78833693329 kt

The final result is:

270 km/h → 145.78833693329 kt

We conclude that 270 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 145.78833693329 knots:

270 kilometers per hour = 145.78833693329 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0068592592592478 × 270 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 270 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0068592592592478 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred seventy kilometers per hour is approximately one hundred forty-five point seven eight eight knots:

270 km/h ≅ 145.788 kt

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