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 491 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 491 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

491 km/h → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 491 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V_(kt) = 265.1187904972 kt

The final result is:

491 km/h → 265.1187904972 kt

We conclude that 491 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 265.1187904972 knots:

491 kilometers per hour = 265.1187904972 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0037718940936801 × 491 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 491 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0037718940936801 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred ninety-one kilometers per hour is approximately two hundred sixty-five point one one nine knots:

491 km/h ≅ 265.119 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred ninety-one kilometers per hour.
