1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 496.7 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 496.7 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

496.7 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 496.7 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 268.1965442769 kt

The final result is:

496.7 km/h → 268.1965442769 kt

We conclude that 496.7 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 268.1965442769 knots:

496.7 kilometers per hour = 268.1965442769 knots
