Provide an acceptable systematic IUPAC name for

The IUPAC naming of a cycloalkane involves identifying the ring as the parent chain, counting the number of carbon atoms in the ring to determine the root name, and numbering the substituents on the ring to give them the lowest possible numbers. If multiple substituents are present, list them in alphabetical order and use prefixes like "di-" or "tri-" if there are multiple identical groups. This systematic approach ensures the correct, universally understood name for any cycloalkane structure.
