Younker's tables
Here's a table showing the relationship between the / notation, the byte
notation, and the corresponding binary numbers (with a dot every eight
digits) for the 32 bit addresses. I've thrown in a count of how many
Class A/B/C networks the larger networks encompass.

Here's an example of how to get from the binary number 11000000 to
the decimal number (192).
11000000 => 128*1 + 64*1 + 32*0 + 16*0 + 8*0 + 4*0 + 2*0 + 1*0
= 128 + 64 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0
= 128 + 64
= 192
Another example (using an arbitrarily chosen binary number):
10000100 => 128*1 + 64*0 + 32*0 + 16*0 + 8*0 + 4*1 + 2*0 + 1*0
= 128 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0
= 128 + 4
= 132

Once to every man and nation,
comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
for the good or evil side;
Some great cause,
some great decision,
offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever,
'twixt that darkness and that light.
