In Japanese, the number 56, written as 五十六 (literally "(5 x 10) + 6") is called "go-juu roku".
56 = 50 + 6 = 五十六 (go-juu roku)
50 = 5 x 10 = 五十 (go-juu)
5: 五 (go)
10: 十 (juu)
6: 六 (roku)
Why is 56 in Yamamoto's name pronounced Isoroku and not Gojuu-roku? How did the number 50 get pronounced Iso instead of Gojuu?
