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 300 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 300 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

300 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 300 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 161.98704103699 kt

The final result is:

300 km/h → 161.98704103699 kt

We conclude that 300 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 161.98704103699 knots:

300 kilometers per hour = 161.98704103699 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0061733333333231 × 300 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 300 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0061733333333231 knots.

Approximate result

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

300 km/h ≅ 161.987 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero six times three hundred kilometers per hour.
