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 873 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 873 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
873 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 873 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 517.23835853176 kt
The final result is:
873 ft/s → 517.23835853176 kt
We conclude that 873 feet per second is equivalent to 517.23835853176 knots:
873 feet per second = 517.23835853176 knots
