Best Answer

Today we would convert the above numbers into Roman numerals as: XIV, XIX, XLIX, XCIX and XIX respectively which makes it almost impossible to perform any arithmetical operations with them

But the methodical Romans themselves would have probably set out and calculated these numbers in the following logical manner:

IXV+IXX = XXXIII

XXXIII+IL = LXXXII

LXXXII+IC = CLXXXI

CLXXXI+IXX = CLXXXXX = CC

Hindu-Arabic conversion:

14+19 = 33

33+49 = 82

82+99 = 181

181+19 = 200

The above numerals are fairly simple to calculate but for more complicated calculations the Romans would have used an abacus counting device.
