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 490.3 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 490.3 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

490.3 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 490.3 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 264.74082073478 kt

The final result is:

490.3 km/h → 264.74082073478 kt

We conclude that 490.3 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 264.74082073478 knots:

490.3 kilometers per hour = 264.74082073478 knots
