Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 856 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 856 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

856 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 856 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1663.9308855306 kt

The final result is:

856 m/s → 1663.9308855306 kt

We conclude that 856 meters per second is equivalent to 1663.9308855306 knots:

856 meters per second = 1663.9308855306 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00060098650051869 × 856 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 856 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00060098650051869 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred fifty-six meters per second is approximately one thousand six hundred sixty-three point nine three one knots:

856 m/s ≅ 1663.931 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times eight hundred fifty-six meters per second.
