How do you write 50 -100 in roman numerals?

Answer 1

In todays modern usage of Roman numerals they are as follows:-

Units from 1 to 9: I II III IV V VI VII VIII and IX

Tens from 50 to 90: L LX LXX LXXX and XC

Hundred 100: C

To select a number simply write them out in descending order as in the following example:-

53 = L+III = LIII

64 = LX+IV = LXIV

99 = XC+IX = XCIX

The way we write out Roman numerals today is quite different in the way that the ancient Romans actually did themseves as for example the Romans would never ever write the equivalent of 4 as IV because to do so was seen as an insult to their greatest of gods Jupiter whose Latin name begins with IV. They would write out 4 as IIII which is still used today on clock faces and watches.
