How many bits are in a byte?

There are 8 bits in 1 byte.

Detailed answer

A byte groups 8 binary bits. Multiply bytes by 8 for bits; divide bits by 8 for bytes. This converter stores bit units as byte-equivalents (1 bit = 0.125 B).

Relationship context

Bytes address files and RAM; raw line speeds often use bits per second (e.g. Mbps).
