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 5996 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 5996 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

5996 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5996 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 3237.5809935259 kt

The final result is:

5996 km/h → 3237.5809935259 kt

We conclude that 5996 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 3237.5809935259 knots:

5996 kilometers per hour = 3237.5809935259 knots
