What does the roman numerals MMDCXL1 mean?

Answer 1

For Roman Numeral, you add the numbers that are together. The only exception is then there is a smaller number and then a bigger number i.e. IV, then you subtract.

M is 1,000

D is 500

C is 100

X is 10

L is 50

I (not 1) is 1. I may look like one, but roman numerals are numbers represtented by lettes only!

For the simplified way of solving this, we're saying 2(1,000,000)+600+50+1 or in expanded original form, 1,000,000+1,000,000+500+100+50+1.

The answer is 2,000,651

Improved Answer:-
