Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 503 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 503 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

503 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 503 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 298.01935205209 kt

The final result is:

503 ft/s → 298.01935205209 kt

We conclude that 503 feet per second is equivalent to 298.01935205209 knots:

503 feet per second = 298.01935205209 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0033554867934388 × 503 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 503 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033554867934388 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred three feet per second is approximately two hundred ninety-eight point zero one nine knots:

503 ft/s ≅ 298.019 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred three feet per second.
