Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 4642 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 4642 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

4642 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 4642 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 8596.9839999857 km/h

The final result is:

4642 kt → 8596.9839999857 km/h

We conclude that 4642 knots is equivalent to 8596.9839999857 kilometers per hour:

4642 knots = 8596.9839999857 kilometers per hour
