To solve this, we first need to work out what number the Roman numeral LVI is equivalent to. As each letter represents a number that is smaller than the one which precedes it, then all we need to do is add them together (i.e. we do not need to minus any using the subtractive prin...
1. What is XCIX plus L? A relatively straightforward question to start off with. All we really need to find out is what the letter L represents, as we haven’t mentioned that one yet in this article. The Roman numeral L equals the number 50. Now that we know that, all we need to...
The Roman numeral XXVII is equal to the number 27. Unlike otherRoman numeral examples, such asXXIVfor instance, which require the subtractive principle method to be used - where a smaller number is written before a larger one and needs to be subtracted from this larger number – the Roman n...
A nice straightforward one to start us off with. We know from the above that XXIV is equal to the number 24, so all we need to do is find out what number the letter L represents and just add it to 24. The Roman numeral L is equal to the number 50. This means that all we need...
