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 584 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 584 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

584 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 584 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 985.68095654625 ft/s

The final result is:

584 kt → 985.68095654625 ft/s

We conclude that 584 knots is equivalent to 985.68095654625 feet per second:
