let's number the carbons for the structure you provided.

The carbon chain is numbered starting from the carbon atom of the carboxylic acid group (-COOH\text{-COOH}), which is always designated as carbon number 1.

Here's the structure with the carbon atoms numbered:

CH3-CH(F)-C(OH)(CH3)-CH2-CH(Br)-CH2-COOH\text{CH}_3\text{-CH(F)-C(OH)(CH}_3\text{)-CH}_2\text{-CH(Br)-CH}_2\text{-COOH}

Numbering the carbons from right to left (starting with the -COOH\text{-COOH} carbon):

C7H3-C6H(F)-C5(OH)(CH3)-C4H2-C3H(Br)-C2H2-C1OOH\text{C7H}_3\text{-C6H(F)-C5(OH)(CH}_3\text{)-C4H}_2\text{-C3H(Br)-C2H}_2\text{-C1OOH}
  • C1: The carbon of the carboxylic acid group (-COOH\text{-COOH}).
  • C2: The carbon adjacent to C1.
  • C3: The carbon with the bromo (-Br\text{-Br}) substituent.
  • C4: The carbon between C3 and C5.
  • C5: The carbon with the hydroxy (-OH\text{-OH}) and methyl (-CH3\text{-CH}_3) substituents.
  • C6: The carbon with the fluoro (-F\text{-F}) substituent.
  • C7: The terminal methyl group.
