PB to GiB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Petabyte and Gibibyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Petabyte is a decimal standard unit where as Gibibyte is binary. One Petabyte is equal to 1000^5 bytes. One Gibibyte is equal to 1024^3 bytes. There are 0.000001073741824 Petabytes in one Gibibyte. - view the difference between both units

Equal to 1024^3 bytes
(Binary Unit)

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

GiB = PB x 10005 / 10243

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Petabyte is Decimal where as the target unit Gibibyte is Binary. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Byte - multiply with 1000^5, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1024^3 .

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

FORMULA

Gibibyte = Petabyte x 10005 / 10243

STEP 1

Gibibyte = Petabyte x (1000x1000x1000x1000x1000) / (1024x1024x1024)

STEP 2

Gibibyte = Petabyte x 1000000000000000 / 1073741824

STEP 3

Gibibyte = Petabyte x 931322.574615478515625

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

  1. = 10 x 10005 / 10243
  2. = 10 x (1000x1000x1000x1000x1000) / (1024x1024x1024)
  3. = 10 x 1000000000000000 / 1073741824
  4. = 10 x 931322.574615478515625
  5. = 9313225.74615478515625
  6. i.e. 10 PB is equal to 9,313,225.74615478515625 GiB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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

Definition : Gibibyte

A Gibibyte (GiB) is a unit of digital information that is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes (or 8,589,934,592 bits) and is defined by the International Electro technical Commission(IEC). The prefix "gibi" is derived from the binary number system and it is used to distinguish it from the decimal-based "gigabyte" (GB). 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 PB to GiB Conversion

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

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

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