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 874.3 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 874.3 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

874.3 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 874.3 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1475.6521580623 ft/s

The final result is:

874.3 kt → 1475.6521580623 ft/s

We conclude that 874.3 knots is equivalent to 1475.6521580623 feet per second:

874.3 knots = 1475.6521580623 feet per second
