Bit to Byte Conversion
1 Bit (b) equals 0.125 Byte (B).
1 Bit = 0.125 Byte
How to convert Bit to Byte
Multiply the value in Bit by 0.125 to get Byte. To convert back from Byte to Bit, divide by 0.125 — or multiply by 8.
B = b × 0.125
Example: 25 b × 0.125 = 3.125 B.
Watch out: Drive manufacturers quote capacity in decimal units, while many operating systems report binary units. That is why a drive sold as 1 TB appears as about 931 GiB once installed — nothing is missing.
