Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 8742 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8742 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

8742 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8742 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 4720.3023758178 kt

The final result is:

8742 km/h → 4720.3023758178 kt

We conclude that 8742 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4720.3023758178 knots:

8742 kilometers per hour = 4720.3023758178 knots

Alternative conversion
