Conversion formula

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 8629 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8629 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

8629 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8629 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 4659.2872570272 kt

The final result is:

8629 km/h → 4659.2872570272 kt

We conclude that 8629 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4659.2872570272 knots:

8629 kilometers per hour = 4659.2872570272 knots
