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 498 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 498 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

498 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 498 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 268.8984881214 kt

The final result is:

498 km/h → 268.8984881214 kt

We conclude that 498 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 268.8984881214 knots:

498 kilometers per hour = 268.8984881214 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0037188755020018 × 498 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 498 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037188755020018 knots.

Approximate result

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

498 km/h ≅ 268.898 kt

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