To convert 4700 hours into seconds we have to multiply 4700 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from hours to seconds. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 hr → 3600 s

4700 hr → T_(s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in seconds:

T_(s) = 4700 hr × 3600 s

T_(s) = 16920000 s

The final result is:

4700 hr → 16920000 s

We conclude that 4700 hours is equivalent to 16920000 seconds:
