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 8488 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8488 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

8488 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8488 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 4583.1533477398 kt

The final result is:

8488 km/h → 4583.1533477398 kt

We conclude that 8488 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4583.1533477398 knots:

8488 kilometers per hour = 4583.1533477398 knots
