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 781 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 781 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

781 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 781 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 462.72984881249 kt

The final result is:

781 ft/s → 462.72984881249 kt

We conclude that 781 feet per second is equivalent to 462.72984881249 knots:

781 feet per second = 462.72984881249 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0021610881653006 × 781 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 781 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021610881653006 knots.

Approximate result

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

781 ft/s ≅ 462.73 kt

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