The given structural formula has got three #-CequivN# as functional groups.

Here we select a longest C-chain of 6 C-atoms and numbering is drawn from right so as to asign minimum locant #(3)# of the branching of #-CH_2CN " (cyanomethyl grouop)"#

So stemname is hex and its prefix name with locant will be 3-cyanomethyl.After the stemname two suffixes (1)ane for saturated class and (2)dinitrile for two #-CN# group should be added to get the complete IUPAC name which becomes

#color(red)"3-(cyanomethyl)hexanedinitrile"#
