How to convert bytes to bits
To convert bytes to bits, multiply the number of bytes by 8.
Formula
bit = B × 8
Examples
- 5 B = 5 × 8 = 40 bit
- 25 B = 25 × 8 = 200 bit
- 100 B = 100 × 8 = 800 bit

Frequently asked questions
- How many bits are in one byte?
- One byte is exactly 8 bits.
- How do I convert bits to bytes?
- To convert bits to bytes, multiply the number of bits by 0.125. The formula is B = bit × 0.125.
- Is this conversion exact?
- Yes. Both units have exact definitions and the factor 8 is exact. Displayed results are only rounded when they have many decimal places.
- Which is larger, a byte or a bit?
- A byte is 8 times larger than a bit. In other words, a bit is exactly 1/8 of a byte.
