4. The smaller of the two numbers designating the carbon atoms
of the double bond is used as the double bond locator. If more
than one double bond is present the compound is named as a
diene, triene or equivalent prefix indicating the number of
double bonds, and each double bond is assigned a locator
number.
5. In cycloalkenes the double bond carbons are assigned ring
locations #1 and #2. Which of the two is #1 may be
determined by the nearest substituent rule.
6. Substituent groups containing double bonds are:

Sub-Rules for IUPAC Nomenclature
The root chain is that which contains the maximum number of multiple bonds.
If more than one such chain is found, the longest is chosen as the root.
If the chains have equal length the one with the most double bonds is chosen.
