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 5308 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5308 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

5308 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5308 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3144.9040172813 kt

The final result is:

5308 ft/s → 3144.9040172813 kt

We conclude that 5308 feet per second is equivalent to 3144.9040172813 knots:

5308 feet per second = 3144.9040172813 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00031797472816498 × 5308 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5308 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00031797472816498 knots.

Approximate result

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

5308 ft/s ≅ 3144.904 kt

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