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 879 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 879 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
879 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 879 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 520.79326133954 kt
The final result is:
879 ft/s → 520.79326133954 kt
We conclude that 879 feet per second is equivalent to 520.79326133954 knots:
879 feet per second = 520.79326133954 knots
