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 4242 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 4242 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

4242 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 4242 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 7856.1839999869 km/h

The final result is:

4242 kt → 7856.1839999869 km/h

We conclude that 4242 knots is equivalent to 7856.1839999869 kilometers per hour:

4242 knots = 7856.1839999869 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
