Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 504.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 504.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

504.4 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 504.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 851.33129192111 ft/s

The final result is:

504.4 kt → 851.33129192111 ft/s

We conclude that 504.4 knots is equivalent to 851.33129192111 feet per second:

504.4 knots = 851.33129192111 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0011746308511031 × 504.4 knots.

Another way is saying that 504.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011746308511031 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

504.4 kt ≅ 851.331 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times five hundred four point four knots.
