Worked examples
Converting 5 terabytes
Multiply 5 by 9.765625e+08. That gives 4,882,812,500 kibibytes. A quick sanity check: one terabyte is larger than one kibibyte, so the number should get bigger — and it does.
Converting 72 terabytes
72 × 9.765625e+08 = 70,312,500,000 kibibytes. Working backwards, 70,312,500,000 ÷ 9.765625e+08 returns 72 terabytes, which confirms the factor is applied the right way round.
