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 789 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 789 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

789 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 789 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 467.46971922287 kt

The final result is:

789 ft/s → 467.46971922287 kt

We conclude that 789 feet per second is equivalent to 467.46971922287 knots:

789 feet per second = 467.46971922287 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0021391759912544 × 789 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 789 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021391759912544 knots.

Approximate result

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

789 ft/s ≅ 467.47 kt

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