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 493 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 493 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

493 km/h → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 493 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V(kt) = 266.19870410411 kt

The final result is:

493 km/h → 266.19870410411 kt

We conclude that 493 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 266.19870410411 knots:

493 kilometers per hour = 266.19870410411 knots

Alternative conversion
