Best Answer

M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1

If a horizontal bar or line was placed above a numeral it indicated that the numeral was to be multiplied by a thousand.

For example the numeral M with a line above it was equal to a 1,000,000.

If a horizontal line was placed above a numeral and vertical a line placed each side of that numeral it meant multiplication by a hundred thousand.

For example the numeral V with a line above it and each side of it was equal to 500,000.

Is 36 and 62 prime or composite?

They are both composite because they are even. They are composite numbers because 36 can be formed by 6x6 and 72 can be formed by 6x6x2. Since prime numbers means that they are only divisible by 1 and itself, the numbers are not prime numbers. Also, any number greater than 1 is either a composite or prime number, so they are composite numbers.
