How to convert octets to bytes
B = o × 1
To convert octets to bytes, multiply the number of octets by 1.
Example: 1 o to B
- Start with the value in octets: 1 o.
- Multiply by 1: 1 × 1 = 1.
- Result: 1 octet = 1 byte.
Going the other way, 1 byte = 1 octet, so to convert bytes back to octets you divide by the same number. See bytes to octets.
