How many bits are there in a byte?
Generally speaking, eight bits to a byte. There is no actual standard that defines how many bits are in a byte, but it has become something of a de facto standard.
How many bits contain a byte?
1 byte = 8 bits
How many bits in an octet or byte?
An octet is 8 bits, which forms a byte.
How many bits are there in a byte on i386 platforms?
There are always eight bits in a byte
How many bits in a bit?
There is only 1 bit in a bit. If you are meaning how many bits are in a byte, there are 8 bits in one byte.
What is 1 byte?
It is a collection of eight bits which represent one character. Each bit can have the value of 0 or 1, zero or one. A byte has 256 possible combinations of 0's and 1's. In most programming languages and applications, these combinations are assigned values or functions. In ASCII, 00101010 (42 in decimal) is the * symbol. Number 189,(10111101 in ASCII) is ½ and 241 is ñ. There are other uses and definitions of a byte, including how many bits are in one.
How many bits in 3 bytes?
1 byte=8 bits SO, 3byts=24 bits
How many bits are there in 4096 bytes?
1 byte = 8 bits (4096 bytes) x (8 bits/byte) = 32768 bits
How many bits are there in 1Kilo Byte?
8 bits/byte x 1024 bytes/KB = 8192 bits/KB

How many bit are in a byte?
There are 8 bits in 1 byte.
How many bit are used to encode an ASCII character?
All ASCII character sets have exactly 128 characters, thus only 7-bits are required to represent each character as an integer in the range 0 to 127 (0x00 to 0x7F). If additional bits are available (most systems use at least an 8-bit byte), all the high-order bits must be zeroed. ANSI is similar to ASCII but uses 8-bit encodings rather than 7-bit encodings. If bit-7 (the high-order bit of an 8-bit byte) is not set (0), the 8-bit encoding typically represents one of the 128 standard ASCII character codes (0-127). If set (1), it represents a character from the extended ASCII character set (128-255). To ensure correct interpretation of the encodings, most ANSI code pages are standardised to include the standard ASCII character set, however the extended character set depends upon which ANSI code page was active during encoding and the same code page must be used during decoding. ANSI typically caters for US/UK-English characters (using ASCII) along with foreign language support, mostly European (Spanish, German, French, Italian). Languages which require more characters than can be provided by ANSI alone must use a multi-byte encoding, such as fixed-width UNICODE or variable-width UTF-8. However, these encodings are standardised such that the first 128 characters (the standard ASCII character set) have the same 7-bit representation (with all high-order bits zeroed).
