Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 472 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 472 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

472 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 472 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 917.49460043276 kt

The final result is:

472 m/s → 917.49460043276 kt

We conclude that 472 meters per second is equivalent to 917.49460043276 knots:

472 meters per second = 917.49460043276 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010899246704322 × 472 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 472 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010899246704322 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred seventy-two meters per second is approximately nine hundred seventeen point four nine five knots:

472 m/s ≅ 917.495 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times four hundred seventy-two meters per second.
