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 8596 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8596 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

8596 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8596 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 4641.4686825131 kt

The final result is:

8596 km/h → 4641.4686825131 kt

We conclude that 8596 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4641.4686825131 knots:

8596 kilometers per hour = 4641.4686825131 knots
