How do you determine 46 in XLVI in roman numerals when the L in roman numerals means 50?

Answer 1

Because XLVI means 56-10 = 46

Answer 2

To determine 46 in Roman numerals, you have to subtract 1 (represented by I) from 50 (represented by L) which gives you 49 (XLIX). Then, add 1 (I) to get 50 (L), resulting in XLIX + I = 50 (L). Therefore, 46 in Roman numerals is XLVI.
