MiB to PB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Mebibyte and Petabyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Mebibyte is a binary standard unit where as Petabyte is decimal. One Mebibyte is equal to 1024^2 bytes. One Petabyte is equal to 1000^5 bytes. There are 953,674,316.40625 Mebibytes in one Petabyte. - view the difference between both units

(Decimal Unit)

The formula of converting the Mebibyte to Petabyte is represented as follows :

PB = MiB x 10242 / 10005

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Mebibyte is Binary where as the target unit Petabyte is Decimal. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Byte - multiply with 1024^2, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1000^5 .

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Mebibyte (MiB) to Petabyte (PB). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Petabyte = Mebibyte x 10242 / 10005

STEP 1

Petabyte = Mebibyte x (1024x1024) / (1000x1000x1000x1000x1000)

STEP 2

Petabyte = Mebibyte x 1048576 / 1000000000000000

STEP 3

Petabyte = Mebibyte x 0.000000001048576

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 MiB to PB, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 x 10242 / 10005
  2. = 10 x (1024x1024) / (1000x1000x1000x1000x1000)
  3. = 10 x 1048576 / 1000000000000000
  4. = 10 x 0.000000001048576
  5. = 0.00000001048576
  6. i.e. 10 MiB is equal to 0.00000001048576 PB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

You can use above formula and steps to convert Mebibyte to Petabyte using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.

Definition : Mebibyte

A Mebibyte (MiB) is a unit of digital information that is equal to 1,048,576 bytes (or 8,388,608 bits) and is defined by the International Electro technical Commission(IEC). The prefix "mebi" is derived from the binary number system and it is used to distinguish it from the decimal-based "megabyte" (MB). It is widely used in the field of computing as it more accurately represents the amount of data storage and data transfer in computer systems.

Python Code for MiB to PB Conversion

You can use below code to convert any value in Mebibyte to Petabyte in Python.

mebibyte = int(input("Enter Mebibyte: "))
petabyte = mebibyte * (1024*1024) / (1000*1000*1000*1000*1000)
print("{} Mebibyte = {} Petabyte".format(mebibyte,petabyte))

The first line of code will prompt the user to enter the Mebibyte as an input. The value of Petabyte is calculated on the next line, and the code in third line will display the result.
