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 506 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 506 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

506 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 506 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 299.79680345598 kt

The final result is:

506 ft/s → 299.79680345598 kt

We conclude that 506 feet per second is equivalent to 299.79680345598 knots:

506 feet per second = 299.79680345598 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0033355926029639 × 506 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 506 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033355926029639 knots.

Approximate result

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

506 ft/s ≅ 299.797 kt

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