Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

To convert 657 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 657 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

657 kt → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 657 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 337.98999999971 m/s

The final result is:

657 kt → 337.98999999971 m/s

We conclude that 657 knots is equivalent to 337.98999999971 meters per second:

657 knots = 337.98999999971 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0029586674161983 × 657 knots.

Another way is saying that 657 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0029586674161983 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

657 kt ≅ 337.99 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times six hundred fifty-seven knots.
