The number signifies the position of the double bond.

3-carene
CC1=CCC2C(C1)C2(C)C

2-carene
CC1=CC2C(C2(C)C)CC1

4-carene
CC1CC2C(C2(C)C)C=C1
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
