Examples

1

Consider a cloud server that holds 1,000,000 gigabytes of data.
Convert this storage size from gigabytes to PetaBytes.

Answer:

Given:

The data storage of cloud server in gigabytes is:

Data Storage(GigaBytes) = 1000000

Formula:

The formula to convert data storage from gigabytes to petabytes is:

Data Storage(PetaBytes) = Data Storage(GigaBytes) × 268435456 / 281474976710645

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of cloud server, Data Storage(GigaBytes) = 1000000 in the above formula.

Data Storage(PetaBytes) = 1000000 × 268435456 / 281474976710645

Data Storage(PetaBytes) = 0.9537

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1000000 GB is equal to 0.9537 PB.

The data storage of cloud server is 0.9537 PB, in petabytes.

2

Consider a collection of high-definition movies stored on a hard drive with 500,000 gigabytes of capacity.
Convert this storage from gigabytes to PetaBytes.

Answer:

Given:

The data storage of HD movies in gigabytes is:

Data Storage(GigaBytes) = 500000

Formula:

The formula to convert data storage from gigabytes to petabytes is:

Data Storage(PetaBytes) = Data Storage(GigaBytes) × 268435456 / 281474976710645

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of HD movies, Data Storage(GigaBytes) = 500000 in the above formula.

Data Storage(PetaBytes) = 500000 × 268435456 / 281474976710645

Data Storage(PetaBytes) = 0.4768

Final Answer:

Therefore, 500000 GB is equal to 0.4768 PB.

The data storage of HD movies is 0.4768 PB, in petabytes.
