5.5 b = 0.6875 B. To convert bits to bytes, divide by 8: 5.5 ÷ 8 = 0.6875.
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: 5.5 × 0.125 = 0.6875.
- Answer: 5.5 b = 0.6875 B.
Shortcut: dividing by 8 gives the same result as multiplying by 0.125.
