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 2855 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 2855 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

2855 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2855 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 1541.5766738687 kt

The final result is:

2855 km/h → 1541.5766738687 kt

We conclude that 2855 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1541.5766738687 knots:

2855 kilometers per hour = 1541.5766738687 knots

Alternative conversion
