What is ccclxxxix in our numaral?

Answer 1

remember in Roman numerals, if a lower value letter precedes (to the left of) a higher value letter then the lower value is subtracted from the higher value.

Example IX = 10 - 1 = 9. IV = 5 -1 = 4

For this one, we have C = 100, L = 50, X = 10 & I = 1

CCCLXXXIX:

CCC is 3 hundreds, then add 50 for L, then XXX is 3 tens (30), then IX = 9 (see above)

so 300 + 50 + 30 + 9 = 389

Answer 2

The Roman numeral CCCLXXXIX represents the number 389 in our numeral system.
