How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 b = 0.125 B
1 B = 8 b
To convert bit to byte, multiply by 0.125.
To convert byte to bit, multiply by 8.
Example: convert 10 b to B
10 × 0.125 = 1.25 B

Frequently asked questions
How many bytes are in one bit?
One bit equals 0.125 bytes. Multiply your bits value by 0.125 to convert to bytes.
What is the conversion formula?
B = b × 0.125The reverse is
b = B × 8, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Bit to Byte converter private?
