Bits to bytes Conversion
1 bits (bit) is equal to 0.125 bytes (B).
1 bit = 0.125 B
or
1 B = 8 bit
Formula
To convert a digital storage from bits (bit) to bytes (B), divide the digital storage in bits by 8
d(B) = d(bit) / 8
Examples:
Convert 1 bits to bytes:
d(B) = 1bit / 8 = 0.125 B

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert bits to bytes?
Divide the value in bits by 8 to get the result in bytes. For example, 5 bit ÷ 8 = 0.625 B.
How many bytes are in 1 bits?
1 bits (bit) is equal to 0.125 bytes (B).
How do I convert bytes back to bits?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in bytes by 8 to get the result in bits.
How accurate is the bits to bytes conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 8 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
