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 8521 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8521 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

8521 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8521 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 4600.9719222539 kt

The final result is:

8521 km/h → 4600.9719222539 kt

We conclude that 8521 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4600.9719222539 knots:

8521 kilometers per hour = 4600.9719222539 knots

Alternative conversion
