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 318 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 318 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

318 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 318 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 536.72353455772 ft/s

The final result is:

318 kt → 536.72353455772 ft/s

We conclude that 318 knots is equivalent to 536.72353455772 feet per second:

318 knots = 536.72353455772 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 0.0018631566078503 × 318 knots.

Another way is saying that 318 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018631566078503 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 eighteen knots is approximately five hundred thirty-six point seven two four feet per second:

318 kt ≅ 536.724 ft/s

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