16 b = 2 B
Full precision:2 B
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 16 bits to bytes, we divide by 8 because one byte equals exactly 8 bits.

1 byte = 8 bits

Since there are 8 bits in every byte, we divide our value by this factor:

16 ÷ 8 = 2 bytes

So 16 bits = 2 bytes.

Quick check: 2 × 8 = 16 bits
