How many bits in 1 bytes? The answer is 8. We assume you are converting between bit and byte. You can view more details on each measurement unit: bits or bytes The main non-SI unit for computer data storage is the byte. 1 bits is equal to 0.125 byte. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Use this page to learn how to convert between bits and bytes. Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units!
1 bits to bytes = 0.125 bytes
5 bits to bytes = 0.625 bytes
10 bits to bytes = 1.25 bytes
20 bits to bytes = 2.5 bytes
30 bits to bytes = 3.75 bytes
40 bits to bytes = 5 bytes
50 bits to bytes = 6.25 bytes
75 bits to bytes = 9.375 bytes
100 bits to bytes = 12.5 bytes
You can do the reverse unit conversion from bytes to bits, or enter any two units below:
A bit is a binary digit, taking a value of either 0 or 1. The bit is also a unit of measurement, the information capacity of one binary digit. It has the symbol bit, or b. There are 8 bits in 1 byte.
A byte is the basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science. In many computer architectures it is a unit of memory addressing, consisting of 8 bits.
Since computer memory comes in base two rather than 10, a large portion of the software and computer industry use binary estimates of the SI-prefixed quantities, while producers of computer storage devices prefer the SI values. This is why a computer hard drive advertised with a "100 GB" decimal storage capacity actually contains no more than 93 GB of 8-bit (power of 2) addressable storage.
