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 5233 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5233 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

5233 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5233 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8832.3089822029 ft/s

The final result is:

5233 kt → 8832.3089822029 ft/s

We conclude that 5233 knots is equivalent to 8832.3089822029 feet per second:
