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 38.2 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 38.2 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

38.2 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 38.2 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 20.626349892043 kt

The final result is:

38.2 km/h → 20.626349892043 kt

We conclude that 38.2 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 20.626349892043 knots:

38.2 kilometers per hour = 20.626349892043 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.048481675392589 × 38.2 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 38.2 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.048481675392589 knots.

Approximate result

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

38.2 km/h ≅ 20.626 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four eight times thirty-eight point two kilometers per hour.
