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 875 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 875 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

875 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 875 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1476.8336249623 ft/s

The final result is:

875 kt → 1476.8336249623 ft/s

We conclude that 875 knots is equivalent to 1476.8336249623 feet per second:
