Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 685.9 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 685.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

685.9 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 685.9 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1270.2867999979 km/h

The final result is:

685.9 kt → 1270.2867999979 km/h

We conclude that 685.9 knots is equivalent to 1270.2867999979 kilometers per hour:

685.9 knots = 1270.2867999979 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
