In the context of computer programming, "8 b" typically stands for "8 bits." A bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer and can have a value of either 0 or 1. When 8 bits are grouped together, they form a byte, which is a common unit of storage in computing. Therefore, "8 b" is shorthand for "8 bits."
Binary digit = 1 bit. Four bits = 1 nibble. 8 bits = 1 byte.[An obsolete computer type used 9 bits to a byte, but that is history, not modern practice. ]
If you are asking what is four (4) in the binary system, the answer is 100.
Convert the megabytes to bits. 1 megabyte = 1024 x 1024 bytes; also, you have to multiply the result by 8 to convert to bits, since 1 byte = 8 bits. If you then divide by the bandwidth (786,000 bits/second), you get the time in seconds.
An 8-bit unsigned integer can represent values ranging from 0 to 255. This is because, with 8 bits, there are (2^8 = 256) possible combinations of binary digits. Therefore, the smallest value is 0 (all bits are 0) and the largest value is 255 (all bits are 1).
