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 874 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 874 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

874 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 874 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 517.83084233306 kt

The final result is:

874 ft/s → 517.83084233306 kt

We conclude that 874 feet per second is equivalent to 517.83084233306 knots:

874 feet per second = 517.83084233306 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0019311325596107 × 874 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 874 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019311325596107 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred seventy-four feet per second is approximately five hundred seventeen point eight three one knots:

874 ft/s ≅ 517.831 kt

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