Similarly for GUI, the numeric value of G,U and I is 7, 21 and 9 respectively. Their sum is 37, which is simplified as 3 + 7 = 10 => 1 + 0 = 1.
Similar process will be done to obtain the code for SAP, the numeric value of S, A and P is 19, 1 and 16 respectively. Their sum is 36, which is simplified as 3 + 6 = 9.
