Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 858 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 858 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
858 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 858 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 508.35110151232 kt
The final result is:
858 ft/s → 508.35110151232 kt
We conclude that 858 feet per second is equivalent to 508.35110151232 knots:
858 feet per second = 508.35110151232 knots
Alternative conversion
