Calculation process of conversion value

1 knot = (exactly) `((1852/3600)) / (1000)` = 0.00051444444444444 kilometre per second
1 kilometre per second = (exactly) `(1000) / ((1852/3600))` = 1943.8444924406 knot
? knot × `((1852/3600) ("m/s"/"knot")) / (1000 ("m/s"/"kilometre per second"))` = ? kilometre per second
