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 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 397 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 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 397 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 771.70626349959 kt

The final result is:

397 m/s → 771.70626349959 kt

We conclude that 397 meters per second is equivalent to 771.70626349959 knots:

397 meters per second = 771.70626349959 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0012958298348715 × 397 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 397 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012958298348715 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 meters per second is approximately seven hundred seventy-one point seven zero six knots:

397 m/s ≅ 771.706 kt

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