Petabytes to bytes converter
Bytes (B)
1 petabyte = 1e+15 bytes
How to convert petabytes to bytes
B = PB × 1 × 10^15
Multiply the number of petabytes by 1 × 10^15 to get bytes. Going the other way, divide by 1 × 10^15 (or multiply by 1 × 10^-15).
One petabyte is exactly defined as 1 × 10^15 bytes (to 12 significant figures), and one byte is 1 × 10^-15 petabytes.
Worked examples
- Convert 5 petabytes: 5 × 1 × 10^15 = 5e+15 5e+15 bytes.
- Convert 12.5 petabytes: 12.5 × 1 × 10^15 = 1.25e+16 1.25e+16 bytes.
- Convert 250 petabytes: 250 × 1 × 10^15 = 2.5e+17 2.5e+17 bytes.
