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 876 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 876 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

876 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 876 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1478.5214348194 ft/s

The final result is:

876 kt → 1478.5214348194 ft/s

We conclude that 876 knots is equivalent to 1478.5214348194 feet per second:
