| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Byte (B)
Equal to 8 bits
(Basic Unit) |
Bit (b)
Equal to 0 or 1
(Basic Unit) |
The formula of converting the Byte to Bit is represented as follows :
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Byte (B) to Bit (b). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
- FORMULA → Bit = Byte x 8
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 Byte to Bits, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x 8
- = 80
- i.e. 10 Byte is equal to 80 Bits.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Byte to Bit using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
