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 447 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 447 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

447 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 447 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 264.84025917949 kt

The final result is:

447 ft/s → 264.84025917949 kt

We conclude that 447 feet per second is equivalent to 264.84025917949 knots:

447 feet per second = 264.84025917949 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0037758609778518 × 447 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 447 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037758609778518 knots.

Approximate result

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

447 ft/s ≅ 264.84 kt

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