Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.5: 1,500 × 0.5 ≈ 750 kn, against the exact 809.935205 kn (7.4% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A kilometer per hour is smaller than a knot, so the number of knots must come out smaller than the number of kilometers per hour. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
