How to Convert Petabytes to Kilobytes
Converting petabytes (PB) to kilobytes (kB) involves converting from a larger decimal unit to a smaller decimal unit. One petabyte is 10^15 bytes, and one kilobyte is 10^3 bytes.
Formula
Kilobytes = Petabytes × 10^12
or
kB = PB × 1,000,000,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in petabytes
- Multiply that number by 10^12
- The result is the equivalent amount in kilobytes
Examples
- 1 petabyte = 1,000,000,000,000 kilobytes
When to Convert Petabytes to Kilobytes
This conversion is useful for expressing very large storage capacities in a more granular decimal unit.
