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 837 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 837 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

837 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 837 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 495.90894168509 kt

The final result is:

837 ft/s → 495.90894168509 kt

We conclude that 837 feet per second is equivalent to 495.90894168509 knots:

837 feet per second = 495.90894168509 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0020164992318993 × 837 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 837 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020164992318993 knots.

Approximate result

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

837 ft/s ≅ 495.909 kt

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