Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 868 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 868 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

868 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 868 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1465.0189559626 ft/s

The final result is:

868 kt → 1465.0189559626 ft/s

We conclude that 868 knots is equivalent to 1465.0189559626 feet per second:

868 knots = 1465.0189559626 feet per second
