# 12 bit to B

**12 bits in bytes: 12 bit = 1.5 B**

B = bit × 1/8

12 bits is 1.5 bytes. To get there, multiply by 0.125.

## Values either side

*Bits near 12, converted to bytes.*

| Bits | Bytes |
| --- | --- |
| 8 bit | 1 |
| 9 bit | 1.125 |
| 10 bit | 1.25 |
| 11 bit | 1.375 |
| 12 bit ← | 1.5 |
| 13 bit | 1.625 |
| 14 bit | 1.75 |
| 15 bit | 1.875 |
| 16 bit | 2 |

## How the conversion works

The relationship is B = bit × 1/8. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.
