How to convert bits to bytes
B = bit × 0.125
Example: 5 bit × 0.125 = 0.625 B

About these units
Bits (bit): A bit is the smallest unit of digital information: a single 0 or 1.
Bytes (B): A byte is 8 bits – enough to store one ASCII character.
Frequently asked questions
How many bytes are in 1 bit?
1 bit equals 0.125 bytes.
How do I convert bit to B?
Multiply the value in bits by 0.125. For example, 5 bit × 0.125 = 0.625 B.
How do I convert bytes back to bits?
Multiply by 8 (or divide by 0.125). 1 B = 8 bit.
What is a bit?
A bit is the smallest unit of digital information: a single 0 or 1.
Conversion factors come from exact international definitions (NIST SP 811, BIPM) where they exist. Results show up to 10 significant digits. Need every data storage unit at once? Use the Data Storage Converter.
