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 4742 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 4742 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

4742 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4742 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 2560.4751619913 kt

The final result is:

4742 km/h → 2560.4751619913 kt

We conclude that 4742 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 2560.4751619913 knots:

4742 kilometers per hour = 2560.4751619913 knots

Alternative conversion
