This the third post in the Alphabetic Filing series. In this post, we are going to discuss the rules when confusion arises in distinguishing first names and last names.
Rule 3
When it is impossible to distinguish which is the first name or the last name, or if there is confusion in the arrangement of the names, file in alphabetically as written. Consider the following examples.
Carlo Bernardo
Jose Mario
Guillermo Mateo
Rosario Leopoldo
Magno Roberto
In the listed names above, it is difficult to distinguish what which are the first names and the surnames. Therefore, we can assume that the second names are the surnames. Thus, when they are alphabetized, they are arranged as follows.
Bernardo, Carlo
Leopoldo, Rosario
Mario, Jose
Mateo, Guillermo
Roberto, Magno
Exercise 1
Leon Rodrigo
Bianca Victoria
Nicolas Romeo
Benedicto Pedro
Jaime Lee
Exercise 2
Marcos Angelo
Felix Patricio
Alberto Rico
Jericho Rodolfo

That’s it for the third rule in alphabetizing. In the next post, we will learn how to file compound and hyphenated names.
After learning about LCM and GCD in our PCSR Review Guide 1, let’s practice what we have learned by answering the exercises below.
1.) What is the LCM of 6 and 8?
2.) What is the LCM of 3, 4, and 9?
3.) Consider the following sequences:
Sequence 1: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, …
Sequence 2: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, …
As we can see, 20 is common to both sequences. What is the 10th common number?
