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 42.1 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 42.1 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
42.1 kt → V(km/h)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:
V(km/h) = 42.1 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h
V(km/h) = 77.96919999987 km/h
The final result is:
42.1 kt → 77.96919999987 km/h
We conclude that 42.1 knots is equivalent to 77.96919999987 kilometers per hour:
42.1 knots = 77.96919999987 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 0.012825577279255 × 42.1 knots.
Another way is saying that 42.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.012825577279255 kilometers per hour.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-two point one knots is approximately seventy-seven point nine six nine kilometers per hour:
42.1 kt ≅ 77.969 km/h
An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero one three times forty-two point one knots.
