What is 1 bit in bytes?

1 bit is equal to exactly 0.125 bytes.

1 ÷ 8 = 0.125 bytes

Result0.125

1 bit = 0.125 bytes

Bits to Bytes formula

B = b ÷ 8

The bits to bytes conversion factor is 0.125, which is exact by definition. 1 bit = 0.125 bytes, and 1 byte = 8 bits.

Worked examples

  • 2 bits = 0.25 bytes2 ÷ 8 = 0.25 bytes
  • 32 bits = 4 bytes32 ÷ 8 = 4 bytes
  • 256 bits = 32 bytes256 ÷ 8 = 32 bytes
