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 8517 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8517 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

8517 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8517 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 4598.81209504 kt

The final result is:

8517 km/h → 4598.81209504 kt

We conclude that 8517 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4598.81209504 knots:

8517 kilometers per hour = 4598.81209504 knots
