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 891 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 891 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

891 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 891 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 458.3699999996 m/s

The final result is:

891 kt → 458.3699999996 m/s

We conclude that 891 knots is equivalent to 458.3699999996 meters per second:

891 knots = 458.3699999996 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 0.002181643650328 × 891 knots.

Another way is saying that 891 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002181643650328 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 ninety-one knots is approximately four hundred fifty-eight point three seven meters per second:

891 kt ≅ 458.37 m/s

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