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 271 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 271 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

271 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 271 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 146.32829373674 kt

The final result is:

271 km/h → 146.32829373674 kt

We conclude that 271 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 146.32829373674 knots:

271 kilometers per hour = 146.32829373674 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.006833948339472 × 271 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 271 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.006833948339472 knots.

Approximate result

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

271 km/h ≅ 146.328 kt

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