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 485 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 485 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

485 kt → V_(km/h)

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

V_(km/h) = 485 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 898.21999999851 km/h

The final result is:

485 kt → 898.21999999851 km/h

We conclude that 485 knots is equivalent to 898.21999999851 kilometers per hour:

485 knots = 898.21999999851 kilometers per hour
