  -The above binary of `11111111` is 255 because you take the value of each bit with a `1` or an “on” value and add the values together, since `255` contains nothing but `1`'s we have:

  Being able to convert IPv4 addresses to Binary is an essential skill in Networking. There already exists many tutorials on converting addresses but this was subject that I found either clicked or didn't. This meant reading multiple articles until I found one that explained the topic the way I needed it to. So in this article i'll try my best to explain it the way I understood it, hofully someone finds it useful. Get comfortable with this skill and practice converting quickly, converting IPv4 address to binary is a must when subnetting your network.
  
  == Understanding Octets
  In IPv4 you have have four octets, each octet is separated by a dot (`.`). This format is referred as "dotted-decimal" format. The following is an example of a valid IPv4 address in dotted-decimal.
  
negative.code: And we get `198.120.50.6`, easy!
