Jakob Waite-Hartmann 2023-07-08 19:03:58When it goes over or equal 4000 It shows a line above the roman numeral and you can even put more than one line on top of the roman numeral.
noone 2023-07-05 19:58:47SoulWatcher IL is a legal way to write 49 but it's not the standard way. The standard rule is that to take away from a roman numeral is that the "subtraction numeral" has to be the numeral listed directly BEFORE the numeral that is the "main numeral". (e.g. D is before M, X is before L, C is before D, etc.) (List: I V X L C D M) (Standard Roman Numeral "49": XLIX)

Aurora 2023-05-09 18:28:57Adding to the rules of subtracting within Roman Numerals:
Roman Numeral Symbols are split up into two groups:
1) Powers of 10:
10^0 = 1 = I
10^1 = 10 = X
10^2 = 100 = C
10^3 = 1000 = M
2) Powers of 10 multiplied by 5:
10^0 *5 = 5 = V
10^1 *5 = 50 = L
10^2 *5 = 500 = D
You CAN subtract symbols of the 1st group from the symbol that has its value multiplied by 5:
IV = 5-1 = 4
XL = 50-10 = 40
CD = 500-100 = 400
You CAN also subtract the symbols from the powers of 10 from the next bigger symbol within that group:
IX = 10-1 = 9
XC = 100-10 = 90
CM = 1000-100 = 900
You CANNOT subtract the symbols of the second group from the symbol that has its value multiplied by 2 as that would be redundand:
VX would be: 10-5 = 5 = V
LC would be: 100-50 = 50 = L
DM would be: 1000-500 = 500 = D
You also CANNOT subtract symbols from the powers of 10 multiplied by 5 from the next symbol within that group:
VL is not: 50-5 = 45, but: XLV = 50-10+5 = 45
LD is not: 500-50 = 450, but: CDL = 500-100+50 = 450

Ayomi 2023-04-21 07:17:22This is really great to my work that i do#]
2023-04-16 11:53:08for SoulWatcher, and other people who wonder why things like, say, 49 is represented as XLIX, and not simply IL. this is because in standard roman numerals, you can only conduct subtraction with numerals that are behind in value by no more than one numeral.
that is, the following are valid:
IV = 4 (V is directly after I)
IX = 9 (X is one numeral after I; V)
XL = 40 (L is directly after X)
XC = 90 (C is one numeral after X; L)
CD = 400 (D is directly after C)
CM = 900 (M is one numeral after C; D)
and examples of technically invalid representations include:
IL =/= 49 (L is two numerals away from I; V, X)
VM =/= 995 (M is three numerals away from V; X, C, D)
VD =/= 495 (D is two numerals away from V; X, C)

Debra 2023-02-25 15:15:20To vojse
The amount you are taking away goes in front of the letter, not after.
MD does not = 1000 - 500 , but 1000 + 500
DM = 1000 - 500
You do not write 4 of the same letter next to each other.
400 is not written, CCCC but it's 100 less than 500
400 = CD
I hope that helps.

Wouldn't MIM be simpler?
Maximvs 2023-01-19 08:45:36To Babette:
In roman numerals, a lower symbol BEFORE a greater indicates a subtraction.
e.g.: IX = 10 (X) - 1 (I) = 9
By the other hand, if a lower symbol is AFTER a greater, it's an addition.
e.g.: VIII = 5 (V) + 3 (III) = 8
And there's a rule: the symbols to be subtracted/added must be read from right to left.
So, XIX = X + IX = 10 (X) + 9 (IX).
Zenith 2023-01-18 16:54:54To Babette...You can't have the same numeral, repeating in order, MORE than 3 times. Any smaller valued numeral is subtracted from the next numeral that is greater. E.G. IX is 9..(1minus10) You have to recognize the lower valued numeral and put it in a separate bracket with the next greater numeral..... X(IX) 10plus(9)
Babette 2023-01-13 03:57:28Hello, I'm new here. I was wondering why XIX=19, if X=10 and I=1? The way I understand it is 10+1+10=21
Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

SoulWatcher 2022-07-28 11:58:16I can read Roman Numerals but sometimes I get messy with the rules because I don’t know the rules I thought I did but I don’t. Not fully. Such as the number 49. I thought take L = 50 and l = 1
And say lL I don’t know why this is wrong. I can write it this way as well.XLIX. Why is the layer the inky right way? What rule am I missing that I can’t seem to find anywhere? Cheers
Rob 2022-07-23 06:33:47Seems like 490 should be XD, but the correct conversion here is CDXC. Hmm. And 990 should similarly be XM, but the correct answer here is CMXC. This must violate rules of conservation, no? Why would one use four numerals when one could use two? Please clarify. Thanks.
