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 6589 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 6589 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

6589 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6589 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 3557.7753779757 kt

The final result is:

6589 km/h → 3557.7753779757 kt

We conclude that 6589 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 3557.7753779757 knots:

6589 kilometers per hour = 3557.7753779757 knots
