The formula of converting the Bit (b) to Byte (B) is represented as follows :

Byte = Bit ÷ 8

Now let us apply the above formula and see how to manually convert Bit (b) to Byte (B). We can further simplify the formula to ease the calculation.

FORMULA

Bytes = Bits ÷ 8

STEP 1

Bytes = Bits x (1 ÷ 8)

STEP 2

Bytes = Bits x 0.125

If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 12 Bit (b) to Byte (B) will be processed as below.

  1. = 12 ÷ 8
  2. = 12 x (1 ÷ 8)
  3. = 12 x 0.125
  4. = 1.5
  5. i.e. 12 Bit is equal to 1.5 Byte.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

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