1 B = 8 bit

Decimal and binary

1 KB = 1000 B · 1 KiB = 1024 B.

B → KB → MB → GB× 1000

B → KiB → MiB → GiB× 1024

Explanation

How Data size – conversion works

Equivalent physical quantities are converted through a shared base unit. Temperature needs a factor and offset; consumption and pace can use inverse relationships.

Conversion basisy = x ÷ 0.125

Display and calculation are separate. Decimal places change the display rather than intermediate calculations. Approximate results are labelled.

Practice

Practical examples

For illustration only – your own calculation is what counts.

Example: 1 B → 8 bit

Data size. Display and calculation are separate. Decimal places change the display rather than intermediate calculations. Approximate results are labelled.

Result: 1 B = 8 bit

Example: 2 B → 16 bit

Data size. Display and calculation are separate. Decimal places change the display rather than intermediate calculations. Approximate results are labelled.

Result: 2 B = 16 bit
