# Knots to kilometers per hour

**1 knot in kilometers per hour: 1 kn = 1.852 km/h**

km/h = kn × 1.852

To convert knots to kilometers per hour, multiply by 1.852. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

## How the conversion works

The relationship is km/h = kn × 1.852. Both units measure speed, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

## Common questions

### How many kilometers per hour are in one knot?

One knot equals 1.852 kilometers per hour. km/h = kn × 1.852.

### How do you convert knots to kilometers per hour?

Use km/h = kn × 1.852. So 10 kn is 18.52 km/h.

### How many knots are in one kilometer per hour?

One kilometer per hour equals 0.53996 knots, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
