How to Convert Knots to Kilometers per Hour

Conversion factor:

1 kn=1.852 km/h1\,\text{kn} = 1.852\,\text{km/h}

Inverse factor:

1 km/h=0.53996 kn1\,\text{km/h} = 0.53996\,\text{kn}

Example

Convert 15 kn to km/h:

km/h=kn×1.852\text{km/h} = \text{kn} \times 1.852
km/h=15×1.852\text{km/h} = 15 \times 1.852
km/h=27.77998\text{km/h} = 27.77998
=27.77998 km/h= 27.77998 \, \text{km/h}
