Converting to size units (KB, MB,GB,TB, and PB) without using PowerShell multipliers

Hello everyone! After some time, here is the brand new brain teaser. We hope you will like the challenge. 🙂

In PowerShell, we can convert from bytes to KB, MB, GB, TB, and PB using the multipliers. For example,

$size = 123456789
$size / 1KB
$size / 1MB
$size / 1GB
$size / 1TB
$size / 1PB

Now, here is a task for you. You need to find a way to perform the above conversion without using any of the above PowerShell multipliers that is KB, MB, GB, TB, and PB. Here are some more rules:

1. If the result contains decimal point, round the number down. For example: 12.99 should become 12.

2. All versions of PowerShell are allowed, shortest way wins.
