ls and chmod numeric permissions

Hello,

When I do a "ls -l" I can see my directories have
drwxr-xr-xr. I am more used to the chmod numerical syntax like 755. Is there an easy way to list out the numerical permissions rather than rwx etc.

I dont think that there is an option like that. But this should be just as simple to follow.

Code:

rwx 
421

- Just add the numbers up and you get your numeric permissions.
