"Petabyte (PB) to Exabyte (EB) Diagram"

Petabyte (PB) and Exabyte (EB) belong to the same decimal measurement system and are commonly converted when working with digital storage and data sizes.

Follow these steps to derive the conversion factor and formula.

1. Find the source unit (Petabyte) value in bits

The Petabyte is a decimal unit. It is defined as 1000^5 bytes, which equals 1000000000000000 bytes. Since 1 Byte = 8 bits, multiply the number of Bytes by 8 to express the value in bits.

$1\,\mathrm{PB} = 1,000^{5} \,\mathrm{B} \times 8\, = 8,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit}$

2. Find the target 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.

$1\,\mathrm{EB} = 1,000^{6} \,\mathrm{B} \times 8\, = 8,000,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit}$

3. Calculate the Conversion Factor

One Petabyte is equal to 8000000000000000 bits, while one Exabyte equals 8000000000000000000 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).

$\dfrac{ 1\,\mathrm{PB} }{ 1\,\mathrm{EB} } = \dfrac{ 8,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit} }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit} } = \dfrac{ 8,000,000,000,000,000 }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000 }$

4. Simplify the Fraction

The fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 8,000,000,000,000,000, giving the exact conversion factor.

$\dfrac{ 8,000,000,000,000,000 }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000 } = \dfrac{ 8,000,000,000,000,000\div 8,000,000,000,000,000 }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000\div 8,000,000,000,000,000 } = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 1,000 }$

5. Decimal Approximation

The exact factor is 1/1000. The decimal result is shown to 30 places or fewer when the division terminates earlier.

$\dfrac{ 1 }{ 1,000 } \approx 0.001$

6. Derive the conversion formula

The conversion factor from Petabyte (PB) to Exabyte (EB) is 0.001. Therefore, any value in Petabyte can be converted to Exabyte by multiplying it by this factor.

$\boxed{ x\,\mathrm{PB} = x\times 0.001\,\mathrm{EB} }$

7. Conversion Formula

Multiply the number of Petabytes by 0.001 to obtain the equivalent value in Exabytes.

$\text{Exabyte} = \text{Petabyte}\ \times\ 0.001$

Examples

1. Convert 15 Petabyte to Exabyte

$15\ \text{PB} \\ = 15 \times 0.001 \\ = 0.015\ \text{EB}$

2. Convert 75 Petabyte to Exabyte

$75\ \text{PB} \\ = 75 \times 0.001 \\ = 0.075\ \text{EB}$

Definitions of Petabyte and Exabyte

The following definitions explain what Petabyte and Exabyte mean and how they are used to measure digital data.

Petabyte (PB)

decimal

One Petabyte is equal to 10¹⁵ or 1000⁵ Bytes. Petabyte is a decimal unit defined as per SI standard. 1 Petabyte = 1000 Terabytes. The unit symbol for Petabyte is PB. Petabyte is not same as Pebibyte (PiB) that contains 1024^5 bytes. 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte (EB).

Exabyte (EB)

decimal

One Exabyte is equal to 10¹⁸ or 1000⁶ Bytes. Exabyte is a decimal unit defined as per SI standard. 1 Exabyte = 1000 Petabytes. The unit symbol for Exabyte is EB. Exabyte is not same as Exbibyte (EiB) that contains 1024^6 bytes. 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte (ZB).
