How would you actually subtract 1499 from 1776 in two different ways using only Roman numerals in both calculations?
The way we write out Roman numerals today differs in many respects as to the way that the ancient Romans actually did themselves inasmuch that nowadays we would write out Roman numerals in direct comparison with Hindu-Arabic numerals. For instance 1499 in Roman numerals today are considered to be MCDXCIX which inhibits mathematical interaction with other numerals in some kind of logical reasoning.
But there is evidence to suggest that the Romans would have calculated the equivalent of 1499 on an abacus counting device as MCCCCLXXXXVIIII which was then probably abridged to IMD in written form thus facilatating the speed and ease of subtraction as follows:-
MDCCLXXVI-IMD = CCLXXVII (1776)-(-1+1500) = (277) by cancelling out the numerals and adding I because --I is +I
Alternatively:-
MDCCLXXVI-MCCCCLXXXXVIIII = CCLXXVII (1776)-(1499) = (277) by cancelling out the numerals.
Remember: 5*I=V, 2*V=X, 5*X=L, 2*L=100, 5*C=D and 2*D=M
Roman numerals: M=1000, D=500< C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5 and I=1

Does Sudoku require math?
No, you can do Sudoku with letters or shapes sometimes. You don't actually have to add or subtract or do math calculations when playing it.
How do you subtract in Roman numerals?
To subtract in Roman numerals, you simply place a smaller number in front of a larger one. You subtract the value of the smaller number from the larger one. For example, to express 4 in Roman numerals, you write IV (5-1). Similarly, to express 9, you write IX (10-1).
Was the roman society able to add subtract multiply and divide using the numerals?
Yes, although they look different from what we're used to seeing they are still numbers
How would you actually subtract 444 from 1999 in two different ways entirely in Roman numerals with step by step details?
before we show how to subtract in roman numerals, let's check the answer first. 1999 - 444 = 1555 1999 = MCMXCIX 444 = CDXLIV 1555 = MDLV if we separate them into each digit: 1999 = M/CM/XC/IX 444 = 0/CD/XL/IV (0 is just there as a placeholder so each has 4 "digits") 1555 = M/D/L/V And after this, we realize why people stopped using roman numerals and went with the superior hindu-arabic numerals. It just works.
How would you add together 1776 plus 1999 in two different ways and subtract 1776 from 1999 working out all three calculations entirely in Roman numerals?
It is now generally accepted that the modern way of expressing 1999 into Roman numerals is now MCMXCIX but the ancient Romans would have probably worked out the above as follows:- A: MDCCLXXVI+IMM = MMMDCCLXXV => 1776+(2000-1) = 3775 B: MDCCLXXVI+MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII = MMMDCCLXXV => 1776+1999 = 3775 C: MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII-MDCCLXXVI = CCXXIII => 1999-1776 = 223 The above calculations are fairly easy and straightforward but for more complicated calculations the Romans would have used an abacus counting device.
Do roman numerals add and subtract?
For example - 1V = _____ II is 2 1V is 4 so 4 - 2 --------- 2 ---------- so to subtract u must first have the two numbers u add the same way if u add you will get 6
How would you actually subtract 223 from 1999 in two different ways using only Roman numerals entirely in both calculations with a detailed explanation?
Because of the changes and new rules governing the original Roman numeral system which were introduced during the Middle Ages today 1999 when converted into Roman numerals are now officially MCMXCIX thus restricting their ability to mathematically interact with other numerals. Nevertheless, notwithstanding the aforementioned inasmuch that there exist even today plausible evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have worked out the difference of 1999 and 223 in either of the following formats:- IMM-CCXXIII = MDCCLXXVI => (2000-1)-223 = 1776 Alternatively by cancelling out numerals:- MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII-CCXXIII = MDCCLXXVI => 1999-223 = 1776 QED by David Gambell
What does LI represent in Roman numerals?
L is 50 and I is one, so LI would be 51. However, if the numerals were IL, then you would have to subtract. Then it would be 49.
