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 479 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 479 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

479 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 479 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 258.63930885572 kt

The final result is:

479 km/h → 258.63930885572 kt

We conclude that 479 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 258.63930885572 knots:

479 kilometers per hour = 258.63930885572 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0038663883089706 × 479 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 479 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0038663883089706 knots.

Approximate result

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

479 km/h ≅ 258.639 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred seventy-nine kilometers per hour.
