Formula
Petabytes = Megabytes ÷ 1,000,000,000
or
PB = MB ÷ 1,000,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in megabytes
- Divide that number by 1,000,000,000
- The result is the equivalent data size in petabytes
Examples
- 1,000,000,000 megabytes = 1,000,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 1 petabyte
