Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 4257 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4257 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

4257 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 4257 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7185.0065616736 ft/s

The final result is:

4257 kt → 7185.0065616736 ft/s

We conclude that 4257 knots is equivalent to 7185.0065616736 feet per second:

4257 knots = 7185.0065616736 feet per second
