How to convert bits to bytes

Multiply the value in bit by 0.125: the result is in B.

B = bit × 0.125The other way round, 1 B = 8 bit.

Where these two units are used

The bit is the smallest possible quantity of information, one yes-or-no answer; its name contracts binary digit, coined in 1947 and made famous by Shannon's paper the following year. The byte is eight bits today, but that was not always true: early machines had six, seven or nine, which is why the unambiguous name in several languages is octet. Eight to one, and it is the factor that disappoints subscribers: the line is sold in bits per second, the file counted in bytes, so a hundred-megabit link never pulls more than 12.5 megabytes per second.
