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 523 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 523 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

523 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 523 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 309.86902807802 kt

The final result is:

523 ft/s → 309.86902807802 kt

We conclude that 523 feet per second is equivalent to 309.86902807802 knots:

523 feet per second = 309.86902807802 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0032271698988523 × 523 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 523 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0032271698988523 knots.

Approximate result

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

523 ft/s ≅ 309.869 kt

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