Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 318 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 318 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

318 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 318 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 618.14254859665 kt

The final result is:

318 m/s → 618.14254859665 kt

We conclude that 318 meters per second is equivalent to 618.14254859665 knots:

318 meters per second = 618.14254859665 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016177498252956 × 318 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 318 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016177498252956 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred eighteen meters per second is approximately six hundred eighteen point one four three knots:

318 m/s ≅ 618.143 kt

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