Convert peta to centi

Learn how to convert 1 peta to centi step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p e t a) = x (c e n t i)

Define the prefix value(s)

T h e v a l u e o f p e t a i s 10^{15}

T h e v a l u e o f c e n t i i s 10^{- 2}

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p e t a) = x (c e n t i)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{15} = x \times 10^{- 2}

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{15} = x \cdot 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

10^{15} = x \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 2} = 10^{15}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}})

x \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} = 10^{15} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} = 10^{15} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{15}}{10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = 10^{2} \times 10^{15}

Simplify

x = 10^{17}

Solve

x

x = 10^{17}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p e t a) = 10^{17} (c e n t i)
