Database Per Inch Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Database Per Inch Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the total size of your database in megabytes (MB) in the "Database Size" field.
  2. Input the number of entries per megabyte of database size in the "Data Density" field.
  3. Specify the length in inches for which you want to calculate the entries per inch in the "Length in Inches" field.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the total database entries and entries per inch.
  5. Use the "Reset" button to clear all input fields and start over.

Working Principle

The calculator works by first determining the total number of entries in the database using the formula:

Total Entries = Database Size (MB) × Data Density (entries/MB)

This total is then divided by the specified length in inches to find the number of entries per inch.

Example

If you have a database of 100 MB with a data density of 500 entries per MB, and you want to know the entries per inch over a length of 10 inches:

  1. Total Entries = 100 MB × 500 entries/MB = 50,000 entries
  2. Entries Per Inch = 50,000 entries / 10 inches = 5,000 entries/inch
