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 472 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 472 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

472 kt → V_(km/h)

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

V_(km/h) = 472 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 874.14399999855 km/h

The final result is:

472 kt → 874.14399999855 km/h

We conclude that 472 knots is equivalent to 874.14399999855 kilometers per hour:

472 knots = 874.14399999855 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
