Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 442 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 442 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

442 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 442 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 261.87784017301 kt

The final result is:

442 ft/s → 261.87784017301 kt

We conclude that 442 feet per second is equivalent to 261.87784017301 knots:

442 feet per second = 261.87784017301 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0038185743373297 × 442 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 442 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0038185743373297 knots.

Approximate result

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

442 ft/s ≅ 261.878 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred forty-two feet per second.
