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 524 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 524 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

524 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 524 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 884.41236512026 ft/s

The final result is:

524 kt → 884.41236512026 ft/s

We conclude that 524 knots is equivalent to 884.41236512026 feet per second:

524 knots = 884.41236512026 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0011306942772832 × 524 knots.

Another way is saying that 524 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011306942772832 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

524 kt ≅ 884.412 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times five hundred twenty-four knots.
