How to Convert Petabytes to Megabytes
Converting petabytes (PB) to megabytes (MB) involves converting from a larger decimal unit to a smaller decimal unit. One petabyte is 10^15 bytes, and one megabyte is 10^6 bytes.
Formula
Megabytes = Petabytes × 10^9
or
MB = PB × 1,000,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in petabytes
- Multiply that number by 1,000,000,000
- The result is the equivalent amount in megabytes
Examples
- 1 petabyte = 1,000,000,000 megabytes
