DLXXXVII (587) or VXDCII (602-15) Conventionally accept wisdom tells us that DLXXXVII (500 + 50 + 30 + 5 + 2) is the correct method of writing 587. The suggested alternative method of writing 587 as VXDCII flies in the face of all convention and is clearly wrong. According to the website Algebra.com Roman numerals read from left to right and always start with the highest value numeral, as V (5) and X (10) are patently less than D (500) VXDCII is clearly wrong. Also while V may preceed X and L it should not be placed in front of any higher value numerals, such as D.
