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 796 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 796 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

796 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 796 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1343.4966462514 ft/s

The final result is:

796 kt → 1343.4966462514 ft/s

We conclude that 796 knots is equivalent to 1343.4966462514 feet per second:
