Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

To convert 827 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 827 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

827 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 827 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 425.44555555519 m/s

The final result is:

827 kt → 425.44555555519 m/s

We conclude that 827 knots is equivalent to 425.44555555519 meters per second:

827 knots = 425.44555555519 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0023504770162543 × 827 knots.

Another way is saying that 827 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023504770162543 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

827 kt ≅ 425.446 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred twenty-seven knots.
