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 742 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 742 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

742 kt → V_(km/h)

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

V_(km/h) = 742 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1374.1839999977 km/h

The final result is:

742 kt → 1374.1839999977 km/h

We conclude that 742 knots is equivalent to 1374.1839999977 kilometers per hour:

742 knots = 1374.1839999977 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 0.00072770458686876 × 742 knots.

Another way is saying that 742 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00072770458686876 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-two knots is approximately one thousand three hundred seventy-four point one eight four kilometers per hour:

742 kt ≅ 1374.184 km/h

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