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 888 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 888 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

888 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 888 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 456.82666666627 m/s

The final result is:

888 kt → 456.82666666627 m/s

We conclude that 888 knots is equivalent to 456.82666666627 meters per second:

888 knots = 456.82666666627 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 0.0021890140680656 × 888 knots.

Another way is saying that 888 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021890140680656 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-eight knots is approximately four hundred fifty-six point eight two seven meters per second:

888 kt ≅ 456.827 m/s

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