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 820 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 820 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

820 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 820 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 485.83671706305 kt

The final result is:

820 ft/s → 485.83671706305 kt

We conclude that 820 feet per second is equivalent to 485.83671706305 knots:

820 feet per second = 485.83671706305 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0020583047037802 × 820 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 820 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020583047037802 knots.

Approximate result

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

820 ft/s ≅ 485.837 kt

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