Yes, you can write "xxxx" instead of "xL" if it conveys the same meaning or follows the context you're working within. However, it's important to ensure that your audience will understand the substitution. If "xL" is a commonly recognized term, using "xxxx" might lead to confusion unless you clarify its meaning. Always consider clarity and standard conventions in your writing.
XXXX (40) or XL (50-10)
As the Romans would write it: XXXX, as we usually write it: XL, written in decimal arabic: 40.
40 in Roman numerals are XL or XXXX
XXXX, XXXXI, XXXXII and XXXXIII or XL, XLI, XLII and XLIII
No. 4 X's(XXXX) would be 40. To correctly write 40, it would look like XL. You can have more than one X in a number, just not in a row.
It is: XXXX or XL which means 40 or (50-10)
It is equal to forty, but would not have been written that way - it would have been written by the Romans as XL.
In Roman numerals, "xxxx" does not represent the number 40. The Roman numeral for 40 is "XL," which is equivalent to 50-10. Roman numerals are based on a subtractive principle, where a smaller numeral before a larger one subtracts its value from the larger numeral. So, in this case, "XL" represents 40 in Roman numerals.
As the Romans wrote them: X, XX, XXX, XXXX, L. As we write then (because "lazy" monks in the Middle Ages created a shorthand form): X, XX, XXX, XL, L.
It is: 40 = XL which means 50-10 = 40
3- XXXYes 30 in roman numerals is XXX; hence 10 is X and 20 is XX. 40, on the other hand, will not be XXXX hence that breaks the rule of roman numerals, so 40 is not XXXX it is XL.
40 = XL
