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 837 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 837 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

837 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 837 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 430.58999999963 m/s

The final result is:

837 kt → 430.58999999963 m/s

We conclude that 837 knots is equivalent to 430.58999999963 meters per second:

837 knots = 430.58999999963 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 0.002322394853575 × 837 knots.

Another way is saying that 837 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002322394853575 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-seven knots is approximately four hundred thirty point five nine meters per second:

837 kt ≅ 430.59 m/s

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