How to convert Exabyte to Exbibyte (EB to EiB)
Exabyte (EB) and Exbibyte (EiB) are similar data storage units, but they follow different measurement standards. Exabyte is based on powers of 1000, while Exbibyte is based on powers of 1024. This conversion accounts for the difference between the decimal (SI) and binary (IEC) standards.
Follow these steps to derive the conversion factor and formula.
1. Find the source unit (Exabyte) value in bits
The Exabyte is a decimal unit. It is defined as 1000^6 bytes, which equals 1000000000000000000 bytes. Since 1 Byte = 8 bits, multiply the number of Bytes by 8 to express the value in bits.
2. Find the target unit (Exbibyte) value in bits
The Exbibyte is a binary unit. It is defined as 1024^6 bytes, which equals 1152921504606846976 bytes. Since 1 Byte = 8 bits, multiply the number of Bytes by 8 to express the value in bits.
3. Calculate the Conversion Factor
One Exabyte is equal to 8000000000000000000 bits, while one Exbibyte equals 9223372036854775808 bits. The conversion factor is obtained by dividing the value of 1 source unit (in bits) by the value of 1 target unit (in bits).
4. Simplify the Fraction
The fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2,097,152, giving the exact conversion factor.
5. Decimal Approximation
The exact factor is 3814697265625/4398046511104. The decimal result is shown to 30 places or fewer when the division terminates earlier.
6. Derive the conversion formula
The conversion factor from Exabyte (EB) to Exbibyte (EiB) is 0.867361737988403547205962240696. Therefore, any value in Exabyte can be converted to Exbibyte by multiplying it by this factor.
7. Conversion Formula
Multiply the number of Exabytes by 0.867361737988403547205962240695953369140625 to obtain the equivalent value in Exbibytes.
