Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 340 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 340 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

340 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 340 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 629.67999999895 km/h

The final result is:

340 kt → 629.67999999895 km/h

We conclude that 340 knots is equivalent to 629.67999999895 kilometers per hour:

340 knots = 629.67999999895 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.0015881082454607 × 340 knots.

Another way is saying that 340 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015881082454607 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

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

340 kt ≅ 629.68 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero zero two times three hundred forty knots.
