Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 842 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 842 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

842 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 842 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1559.3839999974 km/h

The final result is:

842 kt → 1559.3839999974 km/h

We conclude that 842 knots is equivalent to 1559.3839999974 kilometers per hour:

842 knots = 1559.3839999974 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
