4.2 b = 0.525 B. To convert bits to bytes, divide by 8: 4.2 ÷ 8 = 0.525.
How to convert bits to bytes
B = b × 0.125
- 1 b = 0.125 B (and 1 B = 8 b).
- Multiply the amount by the factor: 4.2 × 0.125 = 0.525.
- Answer: 4.2 b = 0.525 B.
Shortcut: dividing by 8 gives the same result as multiplying by 0.125.
