How many kilobytes are there in a petabyte?

Answer 1

There are 1,000,000,000,000 kilobytes (kB) in a petabyte (PB).

Here is a list of bits and bytes. The word "bit" is short for "binary digit". * 8 bits = 1 byte (B)

* 1000 bytes (B) = 1 kilobyte (kB)

* 1000 kilobytes (kB) = 1 megabyte (MB)

* 1000 megabytes (MB) = 1 gigabyte (GB)

* 1000 gigabytes (GB) = 1 terabyte (TB)

* 1000 terabytes (TB) = 1 petabyte (PB)

* 1000 petabytes (PB) = 1 exabyte (EB)

* 1000 exabytes (EB) = 1 zettabyte (ZB)

* 1000 zettabytes (ZB) = 1 yottabyte (YB)

For memory chips, the numbers go up by 1024 with each prefix, since it is easier to work with powers of two. These units are more properly written as "kilobinary byte" (KiB), "megabinary byte" (MiB) and "gigabinary byte" (GiB). Memory doesn't come much larger than this yet.

Answer 2

1 petabyte is 1,125,899,900,000,000 bytes.
