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 397.8 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 397.8 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

397.8 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 397.8 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 773.26133909354 kt

The final result is:

397.8 m/s → 773.26133909354 kt

We conclude that 397.8 meters per second is equivalent to 773.26133909354 knots:

397.8 meters per second = 773.26133909354 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0012932238422423 × 397.8 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 397.8 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012932238422423 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred ninety-seven point eight meters per second is approximately seven hundred seventy-three point two six one knots:

397.8 m/s ≅ 773.261 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times three hundred ninety-seven point eight meters per second.
