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 887 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 887 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

887 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 887 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 525.53313174991 kt

The final result is:

887 ft/s → 525.53313174991 kt

We conclude that 887 feet per second is equivalent to 525.53313174991 knots:

887 feet per second = 525.53313174991 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0019028296021418 × 887 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 887 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019028296021418 knots.

Approximate result

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

887 ft/s ≅ 525.533 kt

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