The above numbers when converted into Roman numerals are XC, IX, CM, M and I respectively and the Romans probably added them together in the following manner:-
XC+IX = IC (90+9 = 99)
CM+IC = IM (900+99 = 999)
M+IMM = IMM (1000+999 = 1999)
I+IMM = MM (1+1999 = 2000)
But today we would add them up in the following manner which leaves the final calculation open to question because:-
XC+IX = XCIX (99)
CM+XCIX = CMXCIX (999)
M+CMXCIX = MCMXCIX (1999)
I+MCMXCIX = ?
It appears that the former way of counting is more plausible than the latter.
A similar question to this has been recently answered in the Roman Numerals category.
You type roman numerals by using capital letters.
See answer to question: ' How do you add together 1666 and 1999 in two different ways using Roman numerals'
If you mean in Roman numerals then: 753 = DCCLIII
It is as follows:- M+XIII = MXIII (1000+13 = 1013) MXIII+XC = MCIII (1013+90 = 1103) MCIII+CM = MMIII (1103+900 = 2003) MMIII+IX = MMXII (2003+9 = 2012) Therefore the sum of the above using Roman numerals is MMXII (2012)
Convert from Roman numerals to Arabic numerals, add, convert back to Roman numerals.

We started Roman Numerals in about the year of 1389 AD I think.
The number 947 in Roman numerals would be CMXLVII

I would add 1999 and 51 together, getting 2050, and convert that to Roman numerals (MML) and hope that was one of the two possible methods.
The answer depends on how many more millennia they keep using Roman numerals!
You cannot write fractions using Roman numerals.
If you mean in Roman numerals then: 753 = DCCLIII
Spend a day using only roman numerals instead of Arabic numerals. The disadvantages will become painfully obvious.
It is as follows:- M+XIII = MXIII (1000+13 = 1013) MXIII+XC = MCIII (1013+90 = 1103) MCIII+CM = MMIII (1103+900 = 2003) MMIII+IX = MMXII (2003+9 = 2012) Therefore the sum of the above using Roman numerals is MMXII (2012)
