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 42 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 42 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
42 km/h → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 42 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt
V(kt) = 22.678185745178 kt
The final result is:
42 km/h → 22.678185745178 kt
We conclude that 42 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 22.678185745178 knots:
42 kilometers per hour = 22.678185745178 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.044095238095165 × 42 kilometers per hour.
Another way is saying that 42 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.044095238095165 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-two kilometers per hour is approximately twenty-two point six seven eight knots:
42 km/h ≅ 22.678 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four four times forty-two kilometers per hour.
