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 315 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 315 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

315 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 315 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 170.08639308884 kt

The final result is:

315 km/h → 170.08639308884 kt

We conclude that 315 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 170.08639308884 knots:

315 kilometers per hour = 170.08639308884 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0058793650793553 × 315 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 315 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0058793650793553 knots.

Approximate result

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

315 km/h ≅ 170.086 kt

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