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 726 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 726 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

726 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 726 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1225.3499562544 ft/s

The final result is:

726 kt → 1225.3499562544 ft/s

We conclude that 726 knots is equivalent to 1225.3499562544 feet per second:

726 knots = 1225.3499562544 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 0.00081609339021544 × 726 knots.

Another way is saying that 726 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00081609339021544 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 twenty-six knots is approximately one thousand two hundred twenty-five point three five feet per second:

726 kt ≅ 1225.35 ft/s

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