Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 523 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 523 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

523 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 523 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 882.72455526316 ft/s

The final result is:

523 kt → 882.72455526316 ft/s

We conclude that 523 knots is equivalent to 882.72455526316 feet per second:

523 knots = 882.72455526316 feet per second
