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 5980 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 5980 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

5980 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5980 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 3228.9416846706 kt

The final result is:

5980 km/h → 3228.9416846706 kt

We conclude that 5980 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 3228.9416846706 knots:

5980 kilometers per hour = 3228.9416846706 knots

Alternative conversion
