M = 1000, CM (100 less than 1000) = 900, XC (10 less than 100) = 90 and IX (1 less than 10) = 9. So the complete numeral MCMXCIX represents 1999.
= 5
444
XL equals 40.
1,944im sure in my ans.
If that is LX then it represents 60, if it is IX it represents 9.
The Roman Numeral system did not have a way to represent zero.
The Roman numerals was the numerical system used in Ancient Rome and used a combination of letters, for example the Roman numeral VII would represent the numbers 5 and 1 and 1, adding the total of the numerals VII would represent the number seven.
In today's terms it is: July XXXI MCMXCIX or as VII-XXXI-MCMXCIX But the Romans themselves would have probably calculated the number 1999 on an abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII and simplified it to IMM (-1+2000 = 1999) Today's rules governing the Roman numeral system were introduced during the Middle Ages but that was centuries after the disappearance of the Roman Empire.
The Roman numeral 'L' stands for 50 and the Roman numeral 'I' stands for 1. Put them together as LI and you get 51. LII would be 52, etc.
They didn't because it was the Etruscans that did and presumably it meant a double V (5) which is X (10). The Roman numeral system originated from the Etruscan numeral system and the Etruscans once ruled the Romans.
Under the rules now governing the Roman numeral system MCMXXI is equivalent to 1921
1999In today's terms MCMXCIX are the Roman numerals for 1999But the Romans themselves would have probably calculated 1999 on an abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII and simply wrote it out as IMM (-1+2000 = 1999)Today's rules governing the Roman numeral system were introduced during the Middle Ages but that was centuries after the decline of the Roman Empire.
