In short
One byte equals 8 bit. To convert byte to bit, multiply by 8. To go the other way, multiply bit by 0.125. So 5 byte is 40 bit, 10 is 80 and 100 is 800. Both units measure digital storage, so the conversion is a single exact multiplication with no offset — the same factor works in a spreadsheet or in code.
