Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 588.4 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 588.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

588.4 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 588.4 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1089.7167999982 km/h

The final result is:

588.4 kt → 1089.7167999982 km/h

We conclude that 588.4 knots is equivalent to 1089.7167999982 kilometers per hour:

588.4 knots = 1089.7167999982 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.00091766961838311 × 588.4 knots.

Another way is saying that 588.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00091766961838311 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred eighty-eight point four knots is approximately one thousand eighty-nine point seven one seven kilometers per hour:

588.4 kt ≅ 1089.717 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero zero one times five hundred eighty-eight point four knots.
