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 582 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 582 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

582 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 582 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 982.30533683205 ft/s

The final result is:

582 kt → 982.30533683205 ft/s

We conclude that 582 knots is equivalent to 982.30533683205 feet per second:

582 knots = 982.30533683205 feet per second
