Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 470 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 470 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

470 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 470 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 253.77969762461 kt

The final result is:

470 km/h → 253.77969762461 kt

We conclude that 470 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 253.77969762461 knots:

470 kilometers per hour = 253.77969762461 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0039404255319083 × 470 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 470 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0039404255319083 knots.

Approximate result

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

470 km/h ≅ 253.78 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred seventy kilometers per hour.
