In the process of converting a bitmap graphic image, the number of colors increased from 256 to 65536. Determine how the size of the graphic file has changed.

The information volume is calculated by the formula: I = N * i, where N is not important to us, and i is the power of the number 2, the result with which shows the number of colors.
i1 = 8 since 2 ^ 8 = 256 and this is the closest number
i2 = 16 by the same logic
16 – 8 = 8
