File permissions in Linux are not represented in binary format, but rather octal format.
The first digit represents owner permissions, second digit is group permissions, and the final one is permissions for everyone.
Read permissions are assigned a 4, write permissions are assigned a 2, and execute permissions are assigned a 1. A 6 permission allows read and write (4+2).
