Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 585 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 585 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

585 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 585 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1137.1490280787 kt

The final result is:

585 m/s → 1137.1490280787 kt

We conclude that 585 meters per second is equivalent to 1137.1490280787 knots:

585 meters per second = 1137.1490280787 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00087939221272479 × 585 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 585 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00087939221272479 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 meters per second is approximately one thousand one hundred thirty-seven point one four nine knots:

585 m/s ≅ 1137.149 kt

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