Calculation process of conversion value

1 knot = (exactly) `((1852/3600)) / (299792458)` = 1.7160019564083 × 10^-9 speed of light
1 speed of light = (exactly) `(299792458) / ((1852/3600))` = 582749918.35853 knot
? knot × `((1852/3600) ("m/s"/"knot")) / (299792458 ("m/s"/"speed of light"))` = ? speed of light

High precision conversion

If conversion between knot to metre-per-second and metre-per-second to speed of light is exactly definied, high precision conversion from knot to speed of light is enabled.
