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 846 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 846 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

846 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 846 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 501.24129589676 kt

The final result is:

846 ft/s → 501.24129589676 kt

We conclude that 846 feet per second is equivalent to 501.24129589676 knots:

846 feet per second = 501.24129589676 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.001995047112411 × 846 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 846 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001995047112411 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred forty-six feet per second is approximately five hundred one point two four one knots:

846 ft/s ≅ 501.241 kt

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