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 830 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 830 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

830 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 830 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 426.98888888852 m/s

The final result is:

830 kt → 426.98888888852 m/s

We conclude that 830 knots is equivalent to 426.98888888852 meters per second:

830 knots = 426.98888888852 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 0.0023419813161955 × 830 knots.

Another way is saying that 830 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023419813161955 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 thirty knots is approximately four hundred twenty-six point nine eight nine meters per second:

830 kt ≅ 426.989 m/s

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