Bits To Bytes
1 bit = 0.125 bytes. Multiply bits by 0.125 to get bytes; divide bytes by 0.125 to go back.

How to convert bits to bytes
Step 1
Take the value in bits.
10 bit
Step 2
Divide by 8.
10 ÷ 8
Step 3
Round to the precision you need.
= 1.25 byte
The factor is rounded to six significant digits; the copy button on any result gives the full-precision value.

How many bits are in a byte?
In almost all modern computing contexts, there are exactly 8 bits in one byte. A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of data, representing a 0 or a 1.
Conversion Formula
To convert bits to bytes, divide the number of bits by 8. For example, 64 bits is equal to 8 bytes.
