Byte to Bit

1 B = 8 b

One byte equals 8 bits, and one bit equals 0.125 bytes.

Byte to Bit formula

b = B × 8

To convert bytes to bits, multiply the value by 8. One byte equals 8 bits.

Step-by-step examples

Convert 1 bytes to bits

  1. 1Start with the value in bytes: 1 B.
  2. 2Multiply by the conversion factor 8.
  3. 31 × 8 = 8 b.

Result: 1 B = 8 b

Convert 10 bytes to bits

  1. 1Start with the value in bytes: 10 B.
  2. 2Multiply by the conversion factor 8.
  3. 310 × 8 = 80 b.

Result: 10 B = 80 b

Convert 100 bytes to bits

  1. 1Start with the value in bytes: 100 B.
  2. 2Multiply by the conversion factor 8.
  3. 3100 × 8 = 800 b.

Result: 100 B = 800 b
