The formula of converting the Bit to Byte is represented as follows :

Bytes = 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

Byte = Bit / 8

STEP 1

Byte = Bit x (1 / 8)

STEP 2

Byte = Bit x 0.125

If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 3 Bit to Bytes will be processed as below.

  1. = 3 / 8
  2. = 3 x (1 / 8)
  3. = 3 x 0.125
  4. = 0.375
  5. i.e. 3 Bit is equal to 0.375 Bytes.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
