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 3171 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 3171 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

3171 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3171 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 1712.2030237609 kt

The final result is:

3171 km/h → 1712.2030237609 kt

We conclude that 3171 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 1712.2030237609 knots:

3171 kilometers per hour = 1712.2030237609 knots

Alternative conversion
