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 490 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 490 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

490 kt → V_(km/h)

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

V_(km/h) = 490 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 907.47999999849 km/h

The final result is:

490 kt → 907.47999999849 km/h

We conclude that 490 knots is equivalent to 907.47999999849 kilometers per hour:

490 knots = 907.47999999849 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.0011019526601156 × 490 knots.

Another way is saying that 490 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011019526601156 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred ninety knots is approximately nine hundred seven point four eight kilometers per hour:

490 kt ≅ 907.48 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero zero one times four hundred ninety knots.
