21 Bytes to Bits
21 bytes is equal to 168 bits, or 0.164063 Kb.
This page explains the formula, works through examples and lists common values in a conversion table.
How to convert bytes to bits
Multiply the value in bytes by 8 to get bits.
b = × 8- 1Start with the value in bytes: 21 B.
- 2Apply the formula: × 8 = 168.
- 3Round to the precision you need: 168 b.
Digital units here use binary multiples: 1 kilobyte = 1,024 bytes.

Bits to Bytes
The reverse conversion uses the inverse formula. For example, 21 b is 2.625 B. Use the bits to bytes converter for other values.
B = × 0.125About the units
Byte (B)
A unit of digital. 1 B = 8 b.
Bit (b)
A unit of digital. 1 b = 0.125 B.
Accuracy and rounding
The calculation uses exact decimal arithmetic, so the conversion itself adds no error. Results are rounded to six significant figures; the formula steps show more digits.
