How would you subtract 1776 from 1999 in two different ways but entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
The ancient Romans would have worked out 1776 on an abacus counting device as MDCCLXXVI and 1999 as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII which can be abridged to IMM thus facilitating the speed and ease of subtraction in either of the following formats:-
A: IMM-MDCCLXXVI = CCXXIII => (2000-1)-1776 = 223
B: MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII-MDCCLXXVI = CCXXIII => 1999-1776 = 223
Note that in todays modern configuration of Roman numerals 1999 is now considered to be MCMXCIX

It just works.
