The information volume of the message in the KOI-8 encoding was 320 bits. Find the number of characters in the message text.

Each character in this encoding (KOI-8) will be encoded in eight bits. In order to find the number of characters in a text, you need to divide the information volume of this text by the volume of one character.

K = I / i = 320 bits / 8 bits = 40 (characters).
