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 4240 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 4240 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

4240 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4240 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 2289.4168466561 kt

The final result is:

4240 km/h → 2289.4168466561 kt

We conclude that 4240 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 2289.4168466561 knots:

4240 kilometers per hour = 2289.4168466561 knots

Alternative conversion
