How to Convert Gigabytes to Exabytes
To convert gigabytes to exabytes, multiply the data size by the following conversion ratio: 1e-9 exabytes/gigabyte.
Since one gigabyte is equal to 1e-9 exabytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The data size in exabytes is equal to the data size in gigabytes multiplied by 1e-9.
For example, here's how to convert 5 gigabytes to exabytes using the formula above.
How Many Exabytes Are in a Gigabyte?
There are 1e-9 exabytes in a gigabyte, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our gigabyte to exabyte calculator automatically converts your data size measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Gigabytes and exabytes are both units used to measure data size. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Gigabyte?
A gigabyte is a unit of data size equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes (B), the base unit for data size. SI decimal standard: 1,000,000,000 bytes. [1]
The gigabyte is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of data size. Gigabytes can be abbreviated as GB; for example, 1 gigabyte can be written as 1 GB.
In the metric system, "giga" is the standard SI prefix for billions, or 10⁹. This makes the gigabyte (GB) a convenient decimal multiple of the byte (B).
In practice, gigabytes (GB) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level data size specifications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is an Exabyte?
An exabyte is a unit of data size equal to 1e+18 bytes (B), the base unit for data size. SI decimal standard: 10¹⁸ bytes (1,000 PB). [2]
The exabyte is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of data size. Exabytes can be abbreviated as EB; for example, 1 exabyte can be written as 1 EB.
In the metric system, "exa" is the standard SI prefix for quintillions, or 10¹⁸. This makes the exabyte (EB) a convenient decimal multiple of the byte (B).
In practice, exabytes (EB) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level data size specifications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting data size between gigabytes (GB) and exabytes (EB), keep full floating-point precision (1 GB = 1e-9 EB; 1 EB = 1,000,000,000 GB) during intermediate calculations and round only the final exabyte figure to match your instrument tolerance.
