Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 747.2 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 747.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

747.2 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 747.2 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 442.70389632868 kt

The final result is:

747.2 ft/s → 442.70389632868 kt

We conclude that 747.2 feet per second is equivalent to 442.70389632868 knots:

747.2 feet per second = 442.70389632868 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0022588461684954 × 747.2 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 747.2 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022588461684954 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred forty-seven point two feet per second is approximately four hundred forty-two point seven zero four knots:

747.2 ft/s ≅ 442.704 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times seven hundred forty-seven point two feet per second.
