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 918 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 918 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

918 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 918 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 472.25999999959 m/s

The final result is:

918 kt → 472.25999999959 m/s

We conclude that 918 knots is equivalent to 472.25999999959 meters per second:

918 knots = 472.25999999959 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 0.0021174776606125 × 918 knots.

Another way is saying that 918 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0021174776606125 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred eighteen knots is approximately four hundred seventy-two point two six meters per second:

918 kt ≅ 472.26 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred eighteen knots.
