1152921504606846976

1152921504606846976 is the decimal representation of the integer 2^60. As a power of two, it lies at a common scale in computing and digital storage, representing a milestone in binary-based measurements.

Mathematically, 2^60 is an even number and equals 2 raised to the 60th power, with its prime factorization consisting solely of the prime 2 (2^60). In binary it is a 1 followed by 60 zero bits. In hexadecimal, it is written as 0x1000000000000000.

In data storage and memory terminology, 2^60 bytes equal one exbibyte (EiB). This binary unit is distinct from the decimal exabyte (EB), which uses powers of 10; 2^60 bytes are about 1.1529 × 10^18 bytes, so roughly 1.15 exabytes in decimal terms. The EiB designation emphasizes binary prefixes used in computer science rather than the SI prefixes commonly used in broader contexts.

The figure also appears in discussions of computer architecture and address spaces. While modern 64-bit systems offer a theoretical 2^64-address space, 2^60 serves as a familiar, well-understood benchmark for large-scale storage capacities and for illustrating exponential growth in digital systems. It underscores how quickly data quantities scale when moving from billions to trillions and beyond, and it is often cited in technical explanations of memory, filesystems, and network storage.
