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 588 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 588 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

588 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 588 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1142.9805615561 kt

The final result is:

588 m/s → 1142.9805615561 kt

We conclude that 588 meters per second is equivalent to 1142.9805615561 knots:

588 meters per second = 1142.9805615561 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0008749055177619 × 588 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 588 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0008749055177619 knots.

Approximate result

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

588 m/s ≅ 1142.981 kt

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