Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 1459 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 1459 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

1459 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1459 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 787.79697624321 kt

The final result is:

1459 km/h → 787.79697624321 kt

We conclude that 1459 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 787.79697624321 knots:

1459 kilometers per hour = 787.79697624321 knots
