    Well, guess I spoke to soon.

    1 Gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes (decimal)

    so far correct …

    or 1,024 megabytes (binary).

    Wrong. Gigabyte and Megabyte are ALWAYS decimal. They are decimal units.

    1 Gigabyte would be 953.7 MiB (mebibytes).

    Now, one petabyte holds 1000 terabytes or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes

    That is correct.

    1024 Petabytes is 1,073,741,824 Gigabytes

    No. 1024 Petabytes would be 1024000000 Gigabyte, since 1 Petabyte is a round 1000000 Gigabytes.
