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 530 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 530 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

530 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 530 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 894.53922426286 ft/s

The final result is:

530 kt → 894.53922426286 ft/s

We conclude that 530 knots is equivalent to 894.53922426286 feet per second:

530 knots = 894.53922426286 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 0.0011178939647102 × 530 knots.

Another way is saying that 530 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011178939647102 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 thirty knots is approximately eight hundred ninety-four point five three nine feet per second:

530 kt ≅ 894.539 ft/s

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