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 8460 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8460 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

8460 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8460 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 4568.034557243 kt

The final result is:

8460 km/h → 4568.034557243 kt

We conclude that 8460 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4568.034557243 knots:

8460 kilometers per hour = 4568.034557243 knots

Alternative conversion
