How to Convert Yobibytes to Exabytes
To convert from yobibytes (YiB) to exabytes (EB), you multiply the value in yobibytes by 1.208925819614629174706176e+09. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 EB = 10¹⁸ bytes and 1 YiB = 2⁸⁰ bytes. For more information about yobibytes as a unit of measurement, visit our yobibytes page.
Formula
Exabytes = Yobibytes × 1.208925819614629174706176e+09
or
EB = YiB × 1.208925819614629174706176e+09
Examples
- 1 YiB = 1 × 1.208925819614629174706176e+09 = 1.208925819614629174706176e+09 EB
- 10 YiB = 10 × 1.208925819614629174706176e+09 = 1.208925819614629174706176e+10 EB
- 100 YiB = 100 × 1.208925819614629174706176e+09 = 1.208925819614629174706176e+11 EB
- 1,000 YiB = 1,000 × 1.208925819614629174706176e+09 = 1.208925819614629174706176e+12 EB
When to Convert Yobibytes to Exabytes
This conversion is useful in data storage and networking, especially when dealing with extremely large capacities where the distinction between base-10 and base-2 prefixes becomes significant.
Cloud Storage
Cloud providers often quote storage in exabytes (base-10), but the underlying systems might operate in yobibytes (base-2), making this conversion relevant for accurate capacity planning.
Big Data Analytics
In big data environments, understanding the true scale of data in both units can be crucial for system architects and data scientists.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a yobibyte (YiB)?
A yobibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2⁸⁰ bytes (approximately 1.208925819614629174706176 septillion bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 yottabyte.
What is an exabyte (EB)?
An exabyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 10¹⁸ bytes (one quintillion bytes). It is commonly used to measure very large amounts of data, such as in cloud storage and big data analytics.
Why is there a difference between yobibytes and exabytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-10 (decimal) prefixes versus base-2 (binary) prefixes. "Exa" (E) denotes 10¹⁸, while "yobi" (Yi) denotes 2⁸⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
