# 5 bit to B

**5 bits in bytes: 5 bit = 0.625 B**

B = bit × 1/8

5 bits is 0.625 bytes. To get there, multiply by 0.125.

## Values either side

*Bits near 5, converted to bytes.*

| Bits | Bytes |
| --- | --- |
| 2 bit | 0.25 |
| 2.5 bit | 0.3125 |
| 3 bit | 0.375 |
| 4 bit | 0.5 |
| 5 bit ← | 0.625 |
| 6 bit | 0.75 |
| 7 bit | 0.875 |
| 8 bit | 1 |
| 9 bit | 1.125 |

## 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.
