Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 640 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 640 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

640 m/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 640 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 1244.0604751631 kt

The final result is:

640 m/s → 1244.0604751631 kt

We conclude that 640 meters per second is equivalent to 1244.0604751631 knots:

640 meters per second = 1244.0604751631 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00080381944444375 × 640 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 640 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00080381944444375 knots.

Approximate result

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

640 m/s ≅ 1244.06 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times six hundred forty meters per second.
