Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 897 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 897 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

897 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 897 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1661.2439999972 km/h

The final result is:

897 kt → 1661.2439999972 km/h

We conclude that 897 knots is equivalent to 1661.2439999972 kilometers per hour:

897 knots = 1661.2439999972 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
