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 533 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 533 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

533 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 533 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 315.79386609099 kt

The final result is:

533 ft/s → 315.79386609099 kt

We conclude that 533 feet per second is equivalent to 315.79386609099 knots:

533 feet per second = 315.79386609099 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0031666226212003 × 533 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 533 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0031666226212003 knots.

Approximate result

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

533 ft/s ≅ 315.794 kt

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