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 3059 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 3059 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

3059 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3059 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 1651.7278617738 kt

The final result is:

3059 km/h → 1651.7278617738 kt

We conclude that 3059 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1651.7278617738 knots:

3059 kilometers per hour = 1651.7278617738 knots

Alternative conversion
