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 816 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 816 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

816 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 816 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 483.46678185787 kt

The final result is:

816 ft/s → 483.46678185787 kt

We conclude that 816 feet per second is equivalent to 483.46678185787 knots:

816 feet per second = 483.46678185787 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0020683944327203 × 816 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 816 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020683944327203 knots.

Approximate result

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

816 ft/s ≅ 483.467 kt

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