b to B - Conversion Formula and Steps
Bit and Byte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Both Bit and Byte are considered as the basic units. One Byte is equal to 8 bits. There are 8 Bits in one Byte. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Bit (b)
Equal to 0 or 1
(Basic Unit) |
Byte (B)
Equal to 8 bits
(Basic Unit) |
The formula of converting the Bit to Byte is represented as follows :
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Bit (b) to Byte (B). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
Byte = Bit / 8
Byte = Bit x (1 / 8)
Byte = Bit x 0.125
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 Bit to Bytes, will be processed as below.
- = 10 / 8
- = 10 x (1 / 8)
- = 10 x 0.125
- = 1.25
- i.e. 10 Bit is equal to 1.25 Bytes.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Bit to Byte using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
