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 317 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 317 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

317 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 317 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 171.16630669575 kt

The final result is:

317 km/h → 171.16630669575 kt

We conclude that 317 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 171.16630669575 knots:

317 kilometers per hour = 171.16630669575 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0058422712933657 × 317 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 317 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0058422712933657 knots.

Approximate result

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

317 km/h ≅ 171.166 kt

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