Bits to Bytes
Convert bits (b) to bytes (B). Type in either box; the other updates as you go.
1 bit equals0.125 B
1 byte equals8 b
FormulaB = b ÷ 8
How to convert bits to bytes
To convert bits to bytes, divide the number of bits by 8.
B = b ÷ 8
Example
Convert 10 bits to bytes:
10 b ÷ 8 = 1.25 B

About the units
Bit (b)
A bit is the smallest unit of digital information, a single 0 or 1. Eight bits make a byte.
Byte (B)
A byte is 8 bits, enough to store one character of plain text.
