## How the conversion works

The relationship is PB = kB × 1 × 10^-12. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

> Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.

## Common questions

### How many petabytes are in one kilobyte?

One kilobyte equals 1 × 10^-12 petabytes. PB = kB × 1 × 10^-12.

### How do you convert kilobytes to petabytes?

Use PB = kB × 1 × 10^-12. So 10 kB is 1 × 10^-11 PB.

### How many kilobytes are in one petabyte?

One petabyte equals 1,000,000,000,000 kilobytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.

### Is there more than one kind of kilobyte?

Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
