Nowadays we would convert 999, 14 and 1987 into Roman numerals as CMXCIX, XIV and MCMLXXXVII respectively but notwithstanding the aforementioned inasmuch that there exist compelling evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have probably calculated the required calculations as follows:-
IM+IXV+VXMMII = MMM => (1000-1)+(15-1)+(2002-15) = 3000
DCCCCLXXXXVIIII+XIIII+MDCCCCLXXXVII = MMM => 999+14+1987 = 3000
Note that the above calculations are fairly simple and straight forward but for more advanced arithmetic the Romans would have made use of an abacus calculating device.

Cmxcix + xiv + mcmlxxxvii = mmm. It should be all in capital letters, but the system changed them.
How would you add together 51 plus 49 in two different ways and 51 minus 49 in two different ways but showing all calculations entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Doing arithmetic with Roman numerals is exasperating, and imho a pointless waste of time, except to demonstrate the obvious superiority of our "normal numbers," which use base-10 radix / positional notation that includes a zero digit as a placeholder. I'd venture to say science & technology -- commerce, too -- could never have developed in recent centuries if we still used Roman numerals for calculations. However, this web site explains some methods: http://turner.faculty.swau.edu/mathematics/materialslibrary/roman/
How would to add together 1999 and 3001 in two different ways showing both calculations entirely in Roman numerals?
When in Rome do as the Roman do and the ancient Romans would have probably added together 1999 and 3001 in either of the following ways:- IMM+MMMI = (V) => (2000-1)+3001 = 1000*5 = 5000 MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII+MMMI = (V) => 1999+30001 = 5000 Note that in todays modern configuration of Roman numerals 1999 is now considered to be MCMXCIX
What are two different ways of adding together 10 plus 1900 plus 90 but showing all work and final answers entirely in Roman numerals?
Nowadays we would convert 1900 into Roman numerals as MCM but the ancient Romans would have probably worked out the given numbers as follows:-X+CMM+XC = MM => 10+(2000-100)+(100-10) = 2000X+MDCCCC+LXXXX = MM => 10+1900+90 = 2000QED
How would you actually add together 1 plus 90 plus 1900 in two different ways but showing all your work entirely in Roman numerals from start to finish with explanations?
In todays modern configurations of Roman numerals the equivalent of 1, 99 and 1900 are now officially set out as I, XCIX and MCM respectively which makes mathematical interaction amongst them quite difficult.Yet there is evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have probably added together the equvalent of the given numbers in either of the following formats:-A: I+IC+CMM = MM => 1+(100-1)+(2000-100) = 2000B: I+LXXXXVIIII+MDCCCC = MM => 1+99+1900 = 2000Note that for more complicated arithmetical problems the ancient Romans would have made use of an abacos calculating board.QED
How would you calculate 1776 plus 1449 and 1776 minus 1449 but showing both calculations worked out entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Today's modern way of expressing 1449 as Roman numerals is now MCDXLIX which prohibits sensible interaction with other numerals but the ancient Romans would have worked out the equivalent of 1449 on an abacus counting device as MCCCCXXXXVIIII and probably abridged it to ILMD thus facilitating the speed and ease of calculations as follows:-MDCCLXXVI+ILMD = MMMCCXXV => 1776+(1500-51) = 3225MDCCLXXVI-ILMD = CCCXXVII => 1776-(1500-51) = 327Note that the results would be exactly the same if we were to use the longer version of the equivalent of 1449.QED
What is 1700.75 plus 75.25 and 1700.75 minus 75.25 but showing all work and answers entirely in Roman numerals?
They are worked out as in the following formats:- MDCCS:. + LXXV:. = MDCCLXXVI => 1700.75 + 75.25 = 1776 MDCCS:. - LXXV:. = MDCXXVS => 1700.75 - 75.25 = 1625.5
How would you calculate 1149 plus 19 in two different ways and 1149 minus 19 in two different ways but showing all work and answers using only Roman numerals with satisfactory explanations?
Save yourself the trouble and convert the numbers to arabic numbers (the numbers we usually use).
How would you add together 1776 and 49 in two different ways but showing both calculations entirely in Roman numerals from start to finish?
In todays modern configuration of Roman numerals 49 is now considered to be XLIX but the ancient Romans would have probably added the given numbers in either of the following formats:-A: MDCCLXXVI+IL = MDCCCXXV => 1776+(50-1) = 1825.B: MDCCLXXVI+XXXXVIIII = MDCCCXXV => 1776+49 = 1825.For more complicated calculations the Romans would have used an abacus calculating device.QED
How would you add together 1999 plus 99 plus 19 plus 49 in two different ways but showing both calculations entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Under todays modern rules now governing the Roman numeral system the equivalent of 1999, 99, 19 and 49 are considered to be MCMXCIX, XCIX, XIX and XLIX respectively which inhibits their ability for some sort of sensible arithmetical interaction amongst them but notwithstanding the aforementioned inasmuch that there exist credible evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have added together the given Hindu-Arabic numerals in either of the following formats:- Addition by subtraction: IMM+IC+IXX+IL = MMCLXVI => (2170-4) = 2166 Addition by abacus: MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII+LXXXXVIIII = MMLXXXXVIII => 1999+49 = 2098 MMLXXXXVIII+XVIIII = MMCXVII => 2098+19 = 2117 MMCXVII+XXXXVIIII = MMCLXVI => 2117+49 = 2166 QED
How would you add together 9 19 199 and 1999 in two different ways entirely in Roman numerals showing details of both Latin calculations in full?
Notwithstanding the fact that nowadays we would convert the equivalent of 9, 19, 199 and 1999 into Roman numerals as IX, XIX, CXCIX and MCMXCIX respectively inasmuch that the ancient Romans would have probably added together the given Hindu-Arabic numerals in either of the following formats:- Addition by subtraction: IX+IXX+ICC+IMM = MMCCXXVI => (2230-4) = 2226 Addition by abacus: VIIII+XVIIII = XXVIII => 9+19 = 28 XXVIII+CLXXXXVIIII = CCXXVII => 28+199 = 227 CCXXVII+MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII = MMCCXXVI => 227+1999 = 2226 QED
What is 1767.5 plus 8.5 added together in two different ways but showing all work and answers entirely in Roman numerals?
The ancient Romans probably worked them out as follows:-MDCCLXVIIS+SIX = MDCCLXXVI => 1767.5+(10-1.5) = 1776MDCCLXVIIS+VIIIS = MDCCLXXVI => 1767.5+8.5 = 1776Note that the rules as we know them to day now governing the Roman numeral system had nothing to do with the ancient Romans because they were introduced during the Middle Ages.QED
