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 23.5 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 23.5 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

23.5 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 23.5 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 12.688984881231 kt

The final result is:

23.5 km/h → 12.688984881231 kt

We conclude that 23.5 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 12.688984881231 knots:

23.5 kilometers per hour = 12.688984881231 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.078808510638167 × 23.5 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 23.5 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.078808510638167 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-three point five kilometers per hour is approximately twelve point six eight nine knots:

23.5 km/h ≅ 12.689 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero seven nine times twenty-three point five kilometers per hour.
