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 837 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 837 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

837 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 837 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1412.6968503925 ft/s

The final result is:

837 kt → 1412.6968503925 ft/s

We conclude that 837 knots is equivalent to 1412.6968503925 feet per second:

837 knots = 1412.6968503925 feet per second
