Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 550 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 550 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

550 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 550 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 296.97624190114 kt

The final result is:

550 km/h → 296.97624190114 kt

We conclude that 550 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 296.97624190114 knots:

550 kilometers per hour = 296.97624190114 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0033672727272671 × 550 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 550 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033672727272671 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred fifty kilometers per hour is approximately two hundred ninety-six point nine seven six knots:

550 km/h ≅ 296.976 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred fifty kilometers per hour.
