Bit (b) Versus Byte (B) - Comparison

Bits and Bytes are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate.

Both Bits and Bytes are the "basic" units. One Byte is equal to 8 bits. There are 8 Bit in one Byte. Find more details on below table.

Unit Name Bit Byte
Unit Symbol b B
Standard basic basic
Defined Value 0 or 1 8 bits
Value in Bits 1 8
Value in Bytes 0.125 1

Bit (b) to Byte (B) Conversion - Formula & Steps

The Bit to Byte Calculator Tool provides a convenient solution for effortlessly converting data units from Bit (b) to Byte (B). Let's delve into a thorough analysis of the formula and steps involved.

Outlined below is a comprehensive overview of the key attributes associated with both the source (Bit) and target (Byte) data units.

Source Data Unit Target Data Unit
Equal to 0 or 1
(Basic Unit)
Equal to 8 bits
(Basic Unit)

The conversion diagram provided below offers a visual representation to help you better grasp the steps involved in calculating Bit to Byte in a simplified manner.

  x 8  

Based on the provided diagram and steps outlined earlier, the formula for converting the Bit (b) to Byte (B) can be expressed as follows:

diamond CONVERSION FORMULA Byte = Bit ÷ 8

Now, let's apply the aforementioned formula and explore the manual conversion process from Bit (b) to Byte (B). To streamline the calculation further, we can simplify the formula for added convenience.

FORMULA

Bytes = Bits ÷ 8

STEP 1

Bytes = Bits x (1 ÷ 8)

STEP 2

Bytes = Bits x 0.125

Example : By applying the previously mentioned formula and steps, the conversion from 1 Bit (b) to Byte (B) can be processed as outlined below.

  1. = 1 ÷ 8
  2. = 1 x (1 ÷ 8)
  3. = 1 x 0.125
  4. = 0.125
  5. i.e. 1 Bit is equal to 0.125 Byte.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

You can employ the formula and steps mentioned above to convert Bits to Bytes using any of the programming language such as Java, Python, or Powershell.

Unit Definitions

What is Bit ?

A Bit (short for 'binary digit') is the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. It is a binary value, meaning it can have one of two values=> 0 or 1. Bits are used to represent data in computers and other electronic devices. They are the building blocks of digital information, and are used to store, transmit, and process data.
