1 bit = 0.125 bytes

Convert bits to bytes.

Both directions on one page — swap the units and the whole thing runs backwards.

The formula

B = b × 0.125

Worked through with a real value: 10 bits = 1.25 bytes.

Going the other way: b = B × 8, so 1 byte = 8 bits.

What each unit is

bit b
A binary digit, the smallest unit of data. Eight bits make one byte, and bits per second measure data transfer speed.
byte B
Eight bits, the standard unit of computer memory and storage. A text character is roughly one byte.
