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 456 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 456 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

456 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 456 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 769.64129483748 ft/s

The final result is:

456 kt → 769.64129483748 ft/s

We conclude that 456 knots is equivalent to 769.64129483748 feet per second:

456 knots = 769.64129483748 feet per second
