Converting from Byte (B) to Nibble (nibble) in Data Storage

What is Byte (B)

In data storage, a Byte (B) is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. It is commonly used to represent a single character in binary code.

What is Nibble (nibble)

A Nibble, sometimes written as 'nibble,' is half of a standard Byte. It consists of 4 bits, which allows it to represent a single hexadecimal digit.

Conversion Formulas

In data storage where 1KB equals 1000B, the default conversion rates are:

• 1 (B) = 2 (nibble)
• 1 (nibble) = 0.5 (B)

For other conversions, the rates are as follows:

• 11 (B) = 22 (nibble)
• 11 (nibble) = 5.5 (B)
• 6 (B) = 12 (nibble)
• 6 (nibble) = 3 (B)
• 15 (B) = 30 (nibble)
• 15 (nibble) = 7.5 (B)

Examples

1. Converting 11 Byte (B) to Nibble (nibble):

11×2=22 nibble

2. Converting 6 Nibble to Byte:

6×0.5=3 B

3. Converting 15 Byte to Nibble:

15×2=30 nibble
