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 839 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 839 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

839 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 839 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1416.0724701067 ft/s

The final result is:

839 kt → 1416.0724701067 ft/s

We conclude that 839 knots is equivalent to 1416.0724701067 feet per second:

839 knots = 1416.0724701067 feet per second

Alternative conversion
