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 470 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 470 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

470 kt → V_(km/h)

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

V_(km/h) = 470 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 870.43999999855 km/h

The final result is:

470 kt → 870.43999999855 km/h

We conclude that 470 knots is equivalent to 870.43999999855 kilometers per hour:

470 knots = 870.43999999855 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.0011488442626737 × 470 knots.

Another way is saying that 470 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011488442626737 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

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

470 kt ≅ 870.44 km/h

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