I have read a really good answer explaining what -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 523454 Aug 8 2014 name means.
However, It did not explain the number before the root root. Also, could you explain what lrwxrwxrwx means, please?

if the output of ls -l is
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 523454 Aug 8 2014 name
The number 1 refers to the number of hard links to that file. Hard links are basically just an additional name for an existing file or folder. For more info on hard links, visit this site. You can view this answer for more information
lrwxrwxrwx refers to a link that can be read, written and executed by the owner, group and others.
