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 489 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 489 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

489 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 489 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 264.03887689029 kt

The final result is:

489 km/h → 264.03887689029 kt

We conclude that 489 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 264.03887689029 knots:

489 kilometers per hour = 264.03887689029 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0037873210633884 × 489 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 489 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037873210633884 knots.

Approximate result

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

489 km/h ≅ 264.039 kt

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