Bits to Bytes Converter
1 bit = 0.125 bytes
1 bit equals 0.125 bytes
How to convert bits to bytes
Lowercase b means bit; uppercase B means byte (8 bits). Decimal kB, MB and GB use powers of 1000; binary KiB, MiB and GiB use powers of 1024. Choose the label that matches the source measurement.
B = b ÷ 8One byte corresponds to 8 bits, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.
1.25 B = 10 ÷ 8Bits to bytes conversion table

About these units
bitb
The smallest unit of digital information: a single binary digit.
byteB
Eight bits. The standard addressable unit of computer memory.
Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
