How to calculate maximum database file size?

Info: 
  • Maximum number of DB blocks are 4194304 blocks (222) per database file
  • Maximum DB block size is 32 KB per DB block
SQL> show parameter db_block_size;
-- Generally it is 8192 byte (8 KB)

e.g. if block size is 8 KB;
maximum database file size = 4194304 x 8 KB = 33554432 KB = 32768 MB = 32 GB

e.g. if block size is 32 KB (this can be maximum 32 KB)
maximum database file size = 4194304 x 32 KB = 134217728 KB = 131072 MB = 128 GB
