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 859 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 859 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
859 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 859 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 508.94358531361 kt
The final result is:
859 ft/s → 508.94358531361 kt
We conclude that 859 feet per second is equivalent to 508.94358531361 knots:
859 feet per second = 508.94358531361 knots
Alternative conversion
