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 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 747 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 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 747 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 442.58539956842 kt

The final result is:

747 ft/s → 442.58539956842 kt

We conclude that 747 feet per second is equivalent to 442.58539956842 knots:

747 feet per second = 442.58539956842 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.002259450946586 × 747 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 747 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002259450946586 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 feet per second is approximately four hundred forty-two point five eight five knots:

747 ft/s ≅ 442.585 kt

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