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 509.4 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 509.4 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

509.4 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 509.4 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 275.0539956808 kt

The final result is:

509.4 km/h → 275.0539956808 kt

We conclude that 509.4 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 275.0539956808 knots:

509.4 kilometers per hour = 275.0539956808 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0036356497840536 × 509.4 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 509.4 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036356497840536 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred nine point four kilometers per hour is approximately two hundred seventy-five point zero five four knots:

509.4 km/h ≅ 275.054 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times five hundred nine point four kilometers per hour.
