19 = XIX
49 = XLIX
99 = XCIX
Expected result is 167 = CLXVII
Method 1: Convert subtractive pairs so IV becomes IIII, XL becomes XXXX and XC becomes LXXXX. Then sort values in descending order of value, grouping C, X and I in groups of 5, and L and V in groups of 2, then reduce these groups so that IIIII becomes V, VV becomes X, XXXXX becomes L and LL becomes C.
XIX + XLIX + XCIX =
XVIIII + XXXXVIIII + LXXXXVIIII =
L + XXXXX + XXXX + VV + V + IIIII + IIIII + II =
L + XXXXX + XXXX + VV + VV + V + II =
L + XXXXX + XXXXX + X + V + II =
LL + L + X + V + II =
C + L + X + V + II =
CLXVII
Method 2: Expand all symbols into positive and negative symbols, sort by absolute value, cancel out any similar values with opposing signs. Convert higher values to lower values as required.
XIX + XLIX + XCIX =
X - I + X - X + L - I + X - X + C - I + X =
C + L + X + X - X + X - X + X - I - I - I =
C + L + X + X - I - I - I =
C + L + X + V + V - I - I - I =
C + L + X + V + I + I + I + I + I - I - I - I =
C + L + X + V + I + I =
CLXVII
A similar question to this has been recently answered in the Roman Numerals category.
The same way u do with any other form of numerals: by adding the lengths of the edges together.
The Roman numeral XV represents the number 15. In Roman numerals, "X" stands for 10 and "V" stands for 5. Adding them together gives you 15.
XVI represents the number sixteen, in Roman numerals.
Adding them together in sequence - you get 10+100+100+100+10+100+1+5=426 426 in roman numerals is CDXXVI
They are limited and cumbersome. For example 3456 would be written as MMMCCCLVI, and 4888 would be MMMMDCCCLXXXVIII. Now try adding them together.
Yes you can.
Roman numerals CCXXVII represent the number 227 in the decimal system. In Roman numerals, C represents 100, X represents 10, and V represents 5. By adding these values together (100 + 100 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1), we get the total of 227.
Notwithstanding today's rules now governing the Roman numeral system that were introduced during the Middle Ages inasmuch that there exist credible evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have worked out the required calculations as follows:-MDCCLXXVI+CLXXXXVIIII+CXXXXV = MMCXX => 1776+199+145 = 2120VXXCCMMI+ICC+VCL = MMCXX => (2001-225)+(200-1)+(150-5) = 2120Note that the above calculations are fairly simple and straightforward but for more complicated calculations the Romans would have made use of an abacus calculating device.QED
The requested calculations are as follows:- MDCCLXXVI+IM = MMDCCLXXV MDCCLXXVI+DCCCCLXXXXVIIII = MMDCCLXXV MDCCLXXVI-IM = DCCLXXVII MDCCLXXVI-DCCCCLXXXXVIIII = DCCLXXVII
The Roman numeral "CMXCLX" can be broken down as follows: CM is 900, XC is 90, and LX is 60. Adding these values together, CMXCLX equals 900 + 90 + 60, which totals 1050. Therefore, CMXCLX represents the number 1050 in Roman numerals.
I expect a Roman would notice that 1999 is only I less than MM, so he would used MM plus the others, take-away one I. Similarly for the others. So you have MM+XX+L less III = MMLXVII. In two different ways: take off the III before adding LXX or take it off afterwards instead.
