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 520 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 520 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

520 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 520 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 280.77753779744 kt

The final result is:

520 km/h → 280.77753779744 kt

We conclude that 520 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 280.77753779744 knots:

520 kilometers per hour = 280.77753779744 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0035615384615325 × 520 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 520 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0035615384615325 knots.

Approximate result

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

520 km/h ≅ 280.778 kt

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