Conversion formula

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 72.4 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 72.4 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

72.4 km/h → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 72.4 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V(kt) = 39.092872570259 kt

The final result is:

72.4 km/h → 39.092872570259 kt

We conclude that 72.4 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 39.092872570259 knots:

72.4 kilometers per hour = 39.092872570259 knots

Alternative conversion
