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 642 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 642 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

642 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 642 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1247.9481641479 kt

The final result is:

642 m/s → 1247.9481641479 kt

We conclude that 642 meters per second is equivalent to 1247.9481641479 knots:

642 meters per second = 1247.9481641479 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00080131533402492 × 642 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 642 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00080131533402492 knots.

Approximate result

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

642 m/s ≅ 1247.948 kt

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