The number of chromosomes in a cell is represented by the letter "n". A cell can be haploid (n or 1n), diploid (2n), triploid (3n), etc. A gamete is haploid and would be represented by n, or half of a diploid (2n). Some notations will say the chromosome number (in humans for example), n equals 23 or n=23. Likewise, a diploid cell would be denoted by 2n=46.

Using the Arabic nnumbering system that is commonly seen in use in most areas of the world today.No, seriously.
