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 4240 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 4240 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

4240 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4240 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 8241.9006479553 kt

The final result is:

4240 m/s → 8241.9006479553 kt

We conclude that 4240 meters per second is equivalent to 8241.9006479553 knots:

4240 meters per second = 8241.9006479553 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00012133123689717 × 4240 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 4240 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00012133123689717 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand two hundred forty meters per second is approximately eight thousand two hundred forty-one point nine zero one knots:

4240 m/s ≅ 8241.901 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times four thousand two hundred forty meters per second.
