Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 838 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 838 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

838 kt → V_(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V_(km/h) = 838 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V_(km/h) = 1551.9759999974 km/h

The final result is:

838 kt → 1551.9759999974 km/h

We conclude that 838 knots is equivalent to 1551.9759999974 kilometers per hour:

838 knots = 1551.9759999974 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion
