Linkyeah thats for the formula ill figure it out
Np! So like if you want the basics, you start at the longest carbon chain. That's what's the base is made off of, like methane, ethane, pentane, octane, stuff involving numbers, etc.
Then the first chain you list is the one that's closest to the end of the large chain. Like if it was 3 from one end, 4 from another, you would call it 3. And then you put 3-the name of what it is, like ethyl, methyl, etc. If you got two or three, it's diethyl, trimethyl, etc.

Bored so I'ma dump what I was taught
If there's multiple chains, one that's 3 from the end and one that's 2, you list the shorter chain first.
There's 2 ethyls on different spots like 1 and 4? 1, 4 diethyl
An ethyl and methyl on the same spot (3)? 3-methyl, 3-ethyl
Can go to stuff like 2, 6-methyl, 3,4-ethyloctane
