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 6820 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6820 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

6820 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6820 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4040.7395248415 kt

The final result is:

6820 ft/s → 4040.7395248415 kt

We conclude that 6820 feet per second is equivalent to 4040.7395248415 knots:

6820 feet per second = 4040.7395248415 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00024747945118764 × 6820 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 6820 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00024747945118764 knots.

Approximate result

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

6820 ft/s ≅ 4040.74 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times six thousand eight hundred twenty feet per second.
