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 590.6 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 590.6 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

590.6 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 590.6 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 318.89848812148 kt

The final result is:

590.6 km/h → 318.89848812148 kt

We conclude that 590.6 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 318.89848812148 knots:

590.6 kilometers per hour = 318.89848812148 knots

Alternative conversion
