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 790 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 790 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

790 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 790 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 468.06220302416 kt

The final result is:

790 ft/s → 468.06220302416 kt

We conclude that 790 feet per second is equivalent to 468.06220302416 knots:

790 feet per second = 468.06220302416 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.002136468173544 × 790 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 790 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002136468173544 knots.

Approximate result

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

790 ft/s ≅ 468.062 kt

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