Why divide by 1.099×10¹²?

1 TB = 1024 GB × 1024 MB × 1024 KB × 1024 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (binary).

Why does my 4 TB drive show 3.64 TB in Windows?

Drive makers use decimal (4 TB = 4,000,000,000,000 bytes). Windows uses binary (4 TB = 4,398,046,511,104 bytes).

Convert 2,199,023,255,552 bytes to TB

2,199,023,255,552 bytes = 2 TB.

What's the difference between TB and TiB?

Formula

TB = bytes ÷ 1099511627776

A terabyte is 1024 GB — about 1 trillion bytes. Enterprise storage arrays, backup systems, and large media libraries commonly use TB. Consumer hard drives are marketed in decimal TB (1 trillion bytes) while operating systems report binary TB (1.099 trillion). Understanding this 7.4% difference explains why a 4 TB drive shows as 3.64 TB in Windows.
