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 502 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 502 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

502 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 502 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 271.05831533522 kt

The final result is:

502 km/h → 271.05831533522 kt

We conclude that 502 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 271.05831533522 knots:

502 kilometers per hour = 271.05831533522 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0036892430278823 × 502 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 502 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036892430278823 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred two kilometers per hour is approximately two hundred seventy-one point zero five eight knots:

502 km/h ≅ 271.058 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred two kilometers per hour.
