Converting from Kilobyte (kB) to Exabyte (EB) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Kilobyte (kB)

A kilobyte (kB) is a basic unit of digital information storage. It is commonly used to measure the size of files and data. In the binary system, which computers use, 1 kilobyte is defined as 1024 bytes. This unit forms part of a hierarchy of data storage measurements that includes larger units like megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), terabytes (TB), and exabytes (EB).

What is Exabyte (EB)

An exabyte (EB) is a much larger unit of digital information storage. One exabyte constitutes 1024 petabytes (PB) or 1,073,741,824 gigabytes (GB). In the binary system, 1 exabyte equals approximately 1.16*10^15 bytes. As technology advances and the volume of data grows, exabytes are increasingly used to describe large-scale data storage needs, such as cloud storage and data centers.

Conversion Formulas

To convert kilobytes to exabytes, you can use the following formula:

Alternatively, for converting exabytes back to kilobytes, the formula is:

These formulas will help you understand how to move between these two units of measurement.

Examples

To understand the conversion better, here are several examples:

• Example 1: Convert 10 kB to EB

  EB=10×0.0000000000000008881784≈8.881784×10−6

• Example 2: Convert 15 kB to EB

  EB=15×0.0000000000000008881784≈1.332268×10−5

• Example 3: Convert 16 kB to EB

  EB=16×0.0000000000000008881784≈1.421085×10−5

• Example 4: Convert 10 EB to kB

  kB=10×1125900000000000≈1.1259×1016

• Example 5: Convert 16 EB to kB

  kB=16×1125900000000000≈1.80144×1016

Using these formulas and examples, you can easily convert between kilobytes and exabytes and understand the vast scales of data storage.
