Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 793 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 793 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

793 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 793 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1338.4332166801 ft/s

The final result is:

793 kt → 1338.4332166801 ft/s

We conclude that 793 knots is equivalent to 1338.4332166801 feet per second:
