Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 589 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 589 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

589 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 589 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 318.03455723595 kt

The final result is:

589 km/h → 318.03455723595 kt

We conclude that 589 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 318.03455723595 knots:

589 kilometers per hour = 318.03455723595 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0031443123938827 × 589 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 589 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0031443123938827 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred eighty-nine kilometers per hour is approximately three hundred eighteen point zero three five knots:

589 km/h ≅ 318.035 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred eighty-nine kilometers per hour.
