Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

To convert 880 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 880 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

880 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 880 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 452.71111111072 m/s

The final result is:

880 kt → 452.71111111072 m/s

We conclude that 880 knots is equivalent to 452.71111111072 meters per second:

880 knots = 452.71111111072 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0022089141959571 × 880 knots.

Another way is saying that 880 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022089141959571 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred eighty knots is approximately four hundred fifty-two point seven one one meters per second:

880 kt ≅ 452.711 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred eighty knots.
