kB to PiB - Conversion Formula and Steps
Kilobyte and Pebibyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Kilobyte is a decimal standard unit where as Pebibyte is binary. One Kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. One Pebibyte is equal to 1024^5 bytes. There are 1,125,899,906,842.624 Kilobytes in one Pebibyte. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Kilobyte (kB)
Equal to 1000 bytes
(Decimal Unit) |
Pebibyte (PiB)
Equal to 1024^5 bytes
(Binary Unit) |
The formula of converting the Kilobyte to Pebibyte is represented as follows :
Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Kilobyte is Decimal where as the target unit Pebibyte is Binary. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Byte - multiply with 1000, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1024^5 .
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Kilobyte (kB) to Pebibyte (PiB). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
Pebibyte = Kilobyte x 1000 / 10245
Pebibyte = Kilobyte x 1000 / (1024x1024x1024x1024x1024)
Pebibyte = Kilobyte x 1000 / 1125899906842624
Pebibyte = Kilobyte x 0.0000000000008881784197001252323389053344
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 kB to PiB, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x 1000 / 10245
- = 10 x 1000 / (1024x1024x1024x1024x1024)
- = 10 x 1000 / 1125899906842624
- = 10 x 0.0000000000008881784197001252323389053344
- = 0.000000000008881784197001252323389053344
- i.e. 10 kB is equal to 0.000000000008881784197001252323389053344 PiB.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
