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 36 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 36 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

36 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 36 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 19.438444924438 kt

The final result is:

36 km/h → 19.438444924438 kt

We conclude that 36 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 19.438444924438 knots:

36 kilometers per hour = 19.438444924438 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.051444444444359 × 36 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 36 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.051444444444359 knots.

Approximate result

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

36 km/h ≅ 19.438 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero five one times thirty-six kilometers per hour.
