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 864 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 864 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

864 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 864 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 511.9060043201 kt

The final result is:

864 ft/s → 511.9060043201 kt

We conclude that 864 feet per second is equivalent to 511.9060043201 knots:

864 feet per second = 511.9060043201 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0019534836309025 × 864 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 864 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019534836309025 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred sixty-four feet per second is approximately five hundred eleven point nine zero six knots:

864 ft/s ≅ 511.906 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred sixty-four feet per second.
