Assuming this has a 47 hydrogens stuck on to make it stable, I’d call it:
3-methyl-3,4,5,5,6-pentaethyl-6-buta-2-yl dodecane

It basically comes down to finding the longest chain of carbons, then you number each of the carbons on that chain and list off things that are attached to that carbon. For example, 1 carbon = methyl, 2 carbons = ethyl, etc.

dodecane has a 12 carbon chain. The longest chain here is 10 carbons, which would be decane.

Good catch.
