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 5988 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 5988 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

5988 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5988 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 3233.2613390983 kt

The final result is:

5988 km/h → 3233.2613390983 kt

We conclude that 5988 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 3233.2613390983 knots:

5988 kilometers per hour = 3233.2613390983 knots

Alternative conversion
