Mb to Pb Converter

The Megabit is a decimal unit. It is defined as 1000^2 bits, which equals 1000000 bits.

$1\,\mathrm{Mb} = 1,000^{2} \,\mathrm{bit} = 1,000,000\,\mathrm{bit}$

The Petabit is a decimal unit. It is defined as 1000^5 bits, which equals 1000000000000000 bits.

$1\,\mathrm{Pb} = 1,000^{5} \,\mathrm{bit} = 1,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit}$

One Megabit is equal to 1000000 bits, while one Petabit equals 1000000000000000 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).

$\dfrac{ 1\,\mathrm{Mb} }{ 1\,\mathrm{Pb} } = \dfrac{ 1,000,000\,\mathrm{bit} }{ 1,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit} } = \dfrac{ 1,000,000 }{ 1,000,000,000,000,000 }$

The fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1,000,000, giving the exact conversion factor.

$\dfrac{ 1,000,000 }{ 1,000,000,000,000,000 } = \dfrac{ 1,000,000\div 1,000,000 }{ 1,000,000,000,000,000\div 1,000,000 } = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 1,000,000,000 }$

The exact factor is 1/1000000000. The decimal result is shown to 30 places or fewer when the division terminates earlier.

$\dfrac{ 1 }{ 1,000,000,000 } \approx 0.000000001$

The conversion factor from Megabit (Mb) to Petabit (Pb) is 0.000000001. Therefore, any value in Megabit can be converted to Petabit by multiplying it by this factor.

$\boxed{ x\,\mathrm{Mb} = x\times 0.000000001\,\mathrm{Pb} }$

Multiply the number of Megabits by 0.000000001 to obtain the equivalent value in Petabits.
