Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 508.6 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 508.6 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

508.6 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 508.6 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 988.63930885615 kt

The final result is:

508.6 m/s → 988.63930885615 kt

We conclude that 508.6 meters per second is equivalent to 988.63930885615 knots:

508.6 meters per second = 988.63930885615 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010114912395674 × 508.6 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 508.6 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010114912395674 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred eight point six meters per second is approximately nine hundred eighty-eight point six three nine knots:

508.6 m/s ≅ 988.639 kt

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