Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit as the base unit. We'll first convert Bit to Bit, then convert from Bit to Byte.
Step 1: Convert from Bit to Bit
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Byte
1 × 0.125 = 0.125
Result: 0.125 Byte
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 8 = 0.125
Direct conversion: 1 Bit = 0.125 Byte
