Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 656 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 656 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

656 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 656 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 388.66937365044 kt

The final result is:

656 ft/s → 388.66937365044 kt

We conclude that 656 feet per second is equivalent to 388.66937365044 knots:

656 feet per second = 388.66937365044 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0025728808797252 × 656 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 656 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0025728808797252 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred fifty-six feet per second is approximately three hundred eighty-eight point six six nine knots:

656 ft/s ≅ 388.669 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times six hundred fifty-six feet per second.
