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 533 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 533 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

533 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 533 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 899.60265383416 ft/s

The final result is:

533 kt → 899.60265383416 ft/s

We conclude that 533 knots is equivalent to 899.60265383416 feet per second:

533 knots = 899.60265383416 feet per second
