A molecule may contain any number of stereocenters and any number of double bonds, and each gives rise to two possible configurations.
To go from number one to number two to number three. You look first at the atoms attached directly to the carbon atoms at each end of the double bond thinking about the two ends separately. To decide whether a group has a high or a low priority, we use a set of rules proposed by cahn, ingold, and prelog in 1964. Vladimir prelog was awarded the 1975 nobel prize in chemistry for his work on organic stereochemistry.
