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 488 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 488 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

488 km/h → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 488 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V(kt) = 263.49892008683 kt

The final result is:

488 km/h → 263.49892008683 kt

We conclude that 488 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 263.49892008683 knots:

488 kilometers per hour = 263.49892008683 knots

Alternative conversion
