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 716 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 716 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

716 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 716 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1208.4718576834 ft/s

The final result is:

716 kt → 1208.4718576834 ft/s

We conclude that 716 knots is equivalent to 1208.4718576834 feet per second:

716 knots = 1208.4718576834 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 0.00082749134259275 × 716 knots.

Another way is saying that 716 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00082749134259275 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 sixteen knots is approximately one thousand two hundred eight point four seven two feet per second:

716 kt ≅ 1208.472 ft/s

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