MATLAB: Random generator on level of bytes

Question

I need to create a column using the randi function to generate random numbers that are divisible of 8 for bytes. Example: 512, 64, 128, 1048576.

Currently tried Data_Bytes = randi([8,1048576],8,1)

Obviously it does not give me items divisible by 8 and know I need to use the divisible(8) function but do not know how to combine the two for a successful output.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Generate random integers and then multiply them by 8 to guarantee that the result is divisible by 8. E.g., something like:

max_value = 1048576/8;
n = 8;
Data_Bytes = randi(max_value,n,1)*8;
