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 789 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 789 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

789 kt → V_(km/h)

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

V_(km/h) = 789 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1461.2279999976 km/h

The final result is:

789 kt → 1461.2279999976 km/h

We conclude that 789 knots is equivalent to 1461.2279999976 kilometers per hour:

789 knots = 1461.2279999976 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
