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 531 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 531 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

531 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 531 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 314.60889848839 kt

The final result is:

531 ft/s → 314.60889848839 kt

We conclude that 531 feet per second is equivalent to 314.60889848839 knots:

531 feet per second = 314.60889848839 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0031785496367227 × 531 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 531 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0031785496367227 knots.

Approximate result

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

531 ft/s ≅ 314.609 kt

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