Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 638.6 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 638.6 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

638.6 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 638.6 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1241.3390928736 kt

The final result is:

638.6 m/s → 1241.3390928736 kt

We conclude that 638.6 meters per second is equivalent to 1241.3390928736 knots:

638.6 meters per second = 1241.3390928736 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00080558165431256 × 638.6 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 638.6 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00080558165431256 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred thirty-eight point six meters per second is approximately one thousand two hundred forty-one point three three nine knots:

638.6 m/s ≅ 1241.339 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times six hundred thirty-eight point six meters per second.
