5 PB × 1,048,576 GB/PB = 5,242,880 GB.

What's the difference: PB and EB?

PB = petabyte (10¹⁵ bytes); EB = exabyte (10¹⁸ bytes). 1000 PB = 1 EB, or 1024 PB ≈ 1 EiB (binary).

A cloud provider has 500 PB capacity. How many 100 GB instances?

500 PB = 524,288,000 GB ÷ 100 = 5,242,880 instances. Massive scale.

Why do cloud bills show GB but capacity discussions use PB?

User billing is granular (per-GB or per-TB). Infrastructure capacity is discussed at scale (PB). Both are valid perspectives.

Key Formulas

Megabyte → Gigabyte

GB = MB × 0.000976563

Gigabyte → Megabyte

MB = GB × 1024

Gigabyte → Terabyte

TB = GB × 0.000976563

Terabyte → Gigabyte

GB = TB × 1024

Formula

GB = PB × 1048576

One petabyte equals 1,048,576 gigabytes (1 PB = 1024 TB × 1024 GB per TB). This conversion is essential for cloud infrastructure planners, data center architects, and enterprise storage administrators who work simultaneously with per-device capacities in GB and aggregate cluster capacities in PB. Understanding the scale is critical for infrastructure investment and power/cooling budget estimation.
