That depends what encoding is used. One common (fairly old) encoding is ASCII; that one uses one byte for each character (letter, symbol, space, etc.). Some systems use 2 bytes per character. Many modern systems use Unicode; if the Unicode characters are stored as UTF-16 - a fairly common encoding scheme - many common characters will still use a single byte, while many special symbols (for example, accented characters) will take up two bytes.

The number of bits is simply the number of bytes multiplied by 8.

How many bytes are required to store a number in binary?

The number of bytes required to store a number in binary depends on the size of the number and the data type used. For instance, an 8-bit byte can store values from 0 to 255 (or -128 to 127 if signed). Larger numbers require more bytes: a 16-bit integer uses 2 bytes, a 32-bit integer uses 4 bytes, and a 64-bit integer uses 8 bytes. Thus, the number of bytes needed corresponds to the number of bits needed for the binary representation of the number.
