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 458 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 458 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

458 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 458 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 271.35758099375 kt

The final result is:

458 ft/s → 271.35758099375 kt

We conclude that 458 feet per second is equivalent to 271.35758099375 knots:

458 feet per second = 271.35758099375 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0036851743604798 × 458 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 458 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036851743604798 knots.

Approximate result

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

458 ft/s ≅ 271.358 kt

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