What are 1999 plus 1776 and 1999 minus 1776 using Roman numerals throughout your work giving reasons why?
According to today's criteria 1999 converted into Roman numerals is considered to be MCMXCIX which makes it almost impossible for them to interact with other numerals in a logical mathematical progression.
But the Romans themselves would have actually worked out the equivalent of 1999 on an abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII which can be contracted to IMM thus facilatating the speed and ease of addition as follows:-
IMM+MDCCLXXVI = MMMDCCLXXV (2000-1)+(1776) = 3775
Alternatively using an abacus counting board:-
MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII+MDCCLXXVI = MMMDCCLXXV (1999+1776 = 3775)
Subtraction:-
MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII-MDCCLXXVI = CCXXIII (1999-1776 = 223) by cancelling out the numerals
Remember that: 5*I=V, 2*V=X, 5*X=L, 2*L=C, 5*C=D and 2*D=M
Roman numerals: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5 and I=1

How do you work out 1776 plus 1999 in Roman numerals giving reasons for your answer?
Today we write out 1999 in Roman numerals as MCMXCIX because of changes made to the rules governing the Roman numeral system during the Middle Ages and to add these numerals to MDCCLXXVI is almost impossible. But the Romans themselves would have calculated 1999 on an abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII and probably simplified them to IMM by placing I to both sides of the numerals. So: MDCCLXXVI + (-I+MM) = MMMDCCLXXV (3775)
