Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 838 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 838 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

838 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 838 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 452.48380129665 kt

The final result is:

838 km/h → 452.48380129665 kt

We conclude that 838 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 452.48380129665 knots:

838 kilometers per hour = 452.48380129665 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0022100238663448 × 838 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 838 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022100238663448 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred thirty-eight kilometers per hour is approximately four hundred fifty-two point four eight four knots:

838 km/h ≅ 452.484 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred thirty-eight kilometers per hour.
