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 839 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 839 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

839 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 839 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 497.09390928769 kt

The final result is:

839 ft/s → 497.09390928769 kt

We conclude that 839 feet per second is equivalent to 497.09390928769 knots:

839 feet per second = 497.09390928769 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0020116923207387 × 839 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 839 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0020116923207387 knots.

Approximate result

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

839 ft/s ≅ 497.094 kt

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