How to Convert Bytes to Bits
To convert bytes to bits, multiply the value by 8.
The Formula
Bits = Bytes × 8
Key Fact
1 byte = 8 bits
Tip: To convert bits back to bytes, divide by 8.
Bytes to Bits
Convert bytes (B) to bits (b) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
B
b
1 B = 8 b
Full precision:8 b
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 bytes to bits, we multiply by 8 because one byte equals exactly 8 bits.
1 byte = 8 bits
Since each byte contains 8 bits, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 8 = 8 bits
So 1 bytes = 8 bits.
Quick check: 8 ÷ 8 = 1 bytes
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 B = 8 b
1 × 8 = 8
1 × 8 = 8
Example 2: 5 B = 40 b
5 × 8 = 40
5 × 8 = 40
Example 3: 10 B = 80 b
10 × 8 = 80
10 × 8 = 80
