When we determine the number of vowels, we wish to retain the possibility of constructing other combinations of 100 letters; we write down each hundred in a square with ten rows and ten columns maintaining the order of the letters:

Next, we count how many vowels there are in each column taken separately and join the numbers in pairs:

the 1st and 6th, 2nd and 7th, 3rd and 8th, 4th and 9th, 5th and 10th

In this way, we obtain five numbers for each 100 letters, which we denote with the following symbols:

(1,6), (2,7), (3,8), (4,9), (5,10)

and the following sum:

(1,6) + (2,7) + (3,8) + (4,9) + (5,10)

represents the total number of vowels in this hundred.
