Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 704 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 704 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

704 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 704 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1188.2181393982 ft/s

The final result is:

704 kt → 1188.2181393982 ft/s

We conclude that 704 knots is equivalent to 1188.2181393982 feet per second:

704 knots = 1188.2181393982 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00084159630865967 × 704 knots.

Another way is saying that 704 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00084159630865967 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

704 kt ≅ 1188.218 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times seven hundred four knots.
