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 459 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 459 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

459 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 459 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 271.95006479505 kt

The final result is:

459 ft/s → 271.95006479505 kt

We conclude that 459 feet per second is equivalent to 271.95006479505 knots:

459 feet per second = 271.95006479505 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0036771456581694 × 459 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 459 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036771456581694 knots.

Approximate result

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

459 ft/s ≅ 271.95 kt

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