Converter

PB

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1.00000e+6GB

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
GB = PB × 1000000

Multiply any value in petabytes by 1000000 to obtain the value in gigabytes.

Worked example

Convert 1 PB to GB.

  1. 01Start with 1 PB.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 GB.
Result1 PB = 1.00000e+6 GB

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from PB to GB?
1 PB equals 1000000 GB. To convert, multiply the value in petabytes by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 PB to GB?
1 PB = 1.00000e+6 GB. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert GB back to PB?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 GB = 1e-6 PB.
When would I need to convert petabyte to gigabyte?
Digital data-storage conversions between PB and GB are routine in IT, networking, storage-array engineering, datacenter capacity planning, cloud-cost reconciliation, embedded systems and scientific data acquisition. Decimal (SI) units (kB, MB, GB, TB, PB) use base-10 multiples: 1 kB = 1,000 bytes. Binary (IEC 80000-13) units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB) use base-2 multiples: 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes. 1 byte = 8 bits exactly across both ladders. This category is storage size only — it does NOT cover data-transfer rate (bit/s, MB/s), download-time, bandwidth, compression-ratio assumptions or storage-pricing calculators, all of which require additional information beyond a single linear factor.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
