Formula
Yobibytes = Bits ÷ 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,408
or
YiB = b ÷ 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,408
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in bits
- Divide that number by 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,408
- The result is the equivalent data in yobibytes
Examples
- 500 bits = 500 ÷ 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,408 = 5.169626450000000e-26 yobibytes

Frequently Asked Questions
How many bits are in a yobibyte?
There are exactly 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,408 bits in one yobibyte. This is the standard definition of the yobibyte. For more information about bits as a unit of measurement, visit our bits page.
Why is the conversion factor 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,408?
A yobibyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. It is equal to 2^80 bytes, or 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes. The 'yobi' prefix is part of the binary prefixes defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Is there a simple way to convert bits to yobibytes mentally?
Yes, you can divide the number of bits by 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,408. For example, 4,500 bits becomes 4.652939593450000e-22 yobibytes, and 750 bits becomes 7.754899322416667e-23 yobibytes.
What is the symbol for bit and yobibyte?
The symbol for bit is "b" and for yobibyte is "YiB".
When was the yobibyte first defined?
The yobibyte, using the binary prefix, was introduced to provide a clear distinction from the SI prefixes (like yottabyte) which are based on powers of 10. This helps avoid confusion in data storage and transmission contexts.
How accurate is the bit to yobibyte conversion?
The conversion is exact because it's based on the definition of the yobibyte. Since 1 yobibyte is defined as exactly 2^83 bits, converting between these units involves no approximation or rounding errors.
