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 831 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 831 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

831 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 831 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1402.5699912499 ft/s

The final result is:

831 kt → 1402.5699912499 ft/s

We conclude that 831 knots is equivalent to 1402.5699912499 feet per second:

831 knots = 1402.5699912499 feet per second

Alternative conversion
