Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 316 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 316 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

316 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 316 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 533.34791484352 ft/s

The final result is:

316 kt → 533.34791484352 ft/s

We conclude that 316 knots is equivalent to 533.34791484352 feet per second:

316 knots = 533.34791484352 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0018749487382798 × 316 knots.

Another way is saying that 316 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018749487382798 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred sixteen knots is approximately five hundred thirty-three point three four eight feet per second:

316 kt ≅ 533.348 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times three hundred sixteen knots.
