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 885 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 885 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

885 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 885 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 524.34816414732 kt

The final result is:

885 ft/s → 524.34816414732 kt

We conclude that 885 feet per second is equivalent to 524.34816414732 knots:

885 feet per second = 524.34816414732 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0019071297820336 × 885 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 885 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019071297820336 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred eighty-five feet per second is approximately five hundred twenty-four point three four eight knots:

885 ft/s ≅ 524.348 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times eight hundred eighty-five feet per second.
