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 530 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 530 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

530 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 530 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 314.0164146871 kt

The final result is:

530 ft/s → 314.0164146871 kt

We conclude that 530 feet per second is equivalent to 314.0164146871 knots:

530 feet per second = 314.0164146871 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0031845469001882 × 530 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 530 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0031845469001882 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred thirty feet per second is approximately three hundred fourteen point zero one six knots:

530 ft/s ≅ 314.016 kt

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