Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 272 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 272 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

272 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 272 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 528.7257019443 kt

The final result is:

272 m/s → 528.7257019443 kt

We conclude that 272 meters per second is equivalent to 528.7257019443 knots:

272 meters per second = 528.7257019443 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0018913398692794 × 272 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 272 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018913398692794 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred seventy-two meters per second is approximately five hundred twenty-eight point seven two six knots:

272 m/s ≅ 528.726 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred seventy-two meters per second.
