Code:

 echo 'scale=5;2876/32'|bc

Thanks for your reply Chris,
But it will be really helpful if you explain it, I went through that link but the same manual page is there which not helpful.

It does need to be an exact fit; you can't have a partial extent :)

Thanks for your reply Chris

My question is still there how we can calculate the PE, what's is the formula's of it.

I would think that it would be the space you have in MB/<size of extent>. That should give you what you are looking for.
