Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 862 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 862 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

862 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 862 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1596.4239999973 km/h

The final result is:

862 kt → 1596.4239999973 km/h

We conclude that 862 knots is equivalent to 1596.4239999973 kilometers per hour:

862 knots = 1596.4239999973 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
