Bits to bytes
1 bit in bytes
1 bit = 0.125 B
B = bit × 1/8
To convert bits to bytes, multiply by 0.125. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

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.
Common questions
- How many bytes are in one bit?
- One bit equals 0.125 bytes. B = bit × 1/8.
- How do you convert bits to bytes?
- Use B = bit × 1/8. So 10 bit is 1.25 B.
- How many bits are in one byte?
- One byte equals 8 bits, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
