Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 740 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 740 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

740 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 740 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1370.4799999977 km/h

The final result is:

740 kt → 1370.4799999977 km/h

We conclude that 740 knots is equivalent to 1370.4799999977 kilometers per hour:

740 knots = 1370.4799999977 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.00072967135602246 × 740 knots.

Another way is saying that 740 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00072967135602246 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred forty knots is approximately one thousand three hundred seventy point four eight kilometers per hour:

740 kt ≅ 1370.48 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero zero one times seven hundred forty knots.
