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 5042 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 5042 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

5042 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5042 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 2722.4622030283 kt

The final result is:

5042 km/h → 2722.4622030283 kt

We conclude that 5042 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 2722.4622030283 knots:

5042 kilometers per hour = 2722.4622030283 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00036731455771458 × 5042 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 5042 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00036731455771458 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand forty-two kilometers per hour is approximately two thousand seven hundred twenty-two point four six two knots:

5042 km/h ≅ 2722.462 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times five thousand forty-two kilometers per hour.
