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 847 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 847 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

847 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 847 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1429.5749489635 ft/s

The final result is:

847 kt → 1429.5749489635 ft/s

We conclude that 847 knots is equivalent to 1429.5749489635 feet per second:

847 knots = 1429.5749489635 feet per second
