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 720 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 720 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

720 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 720 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 388.76889848877 kt

The final result is:

720 km/h → 388.76889848877 kt

We conclude that 720 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 388.76889848877 knots:

720 kilometers per hour = 388.76889848877 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0025722222222179 × 720 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 720 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0025722222222179 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred twenty kilometers per hour is approximately three hundred eighty-eight point seven six nine knots:

720 km/h ≅ 388.769 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times seven hundred twenty kilometers per hour.
