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 585 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 585 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

585 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 585 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 346.6030237584 kt

The final result is:

585 ft/s → 346.6030237584 kt

We conclude that 585 feet per second is equivalent to 346.6030237584 knots:

585 feet per second = 346.6030237584 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0028851450548713 × 585 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 585 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0028851450548713 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred eighty-five feet per second is approximately three hundred forty-six point six zero three knots:

585 ft/s ≅ 346.603 kt

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