Remove one stick from the V will give you II = II
V plus VI Equals XI OR V Plus IV Equals IX
ii + vi = viiii = vii = viiii + i + vi = viii
In Roman numerals, LCI represents 50 + 100 + 1, which equals 151. The Roman numeral system uses letters to represent numbers, with I representing 1, C representing 100, and L representing 50. When these letters are combined, they are added together to determine the total value represented by the Roman numeral.
Well, darling, "IIXI" in Roman numerals technically means 8 + 1 + 10 + 1, which equals 20. However, in proper Roman numeral form, it should be written as "XVIII" for 18. But hey, if you want to keep things interesting, go ahead and stick with "IIXI" and confuse the heck out of people.
MXM is not a correct Roman numeral, as the symbol X should not be placed before any symbol of a higher value than C. If it were correct its value would be 1990 but the correct way to represent this value would be MCMXC. (M = 1000, CM = 900 and XC = 90).

The symbol X comes from the Greek alphabet (X=chi), circa 9th century BCE. The Etruscan alphabet is a direct descendant of the Greek alphabet and the Roman alphabet descends from the Etruscan. The Roman numerals themselves are thought to derive from an Etruscan tally stick method of counting.
D equals 500 and M equals 1,000. A smaller numeral in front of a larger numeral means you subtract the smaller number from the larger one. In this case, DM stands for 500. However, Roman Numerals should be written using the least amount of letters possible. In that case, DM is not a Roman Numeral. In its place is D, also meaning 500.
A stick of butter is a quarter pound.
When primitive man began to settle into farming communities he needed some kind of method to keep a tally of his farming stock and so numerals, which originated from notches on a stick, were invented out of necessity. The Roman numeral system was not invented by the Romans but by the Etruscans who once ruled the Romans.
1 stick of Crisco equals 1 cup.
Honey, one quadrillion in Roman numerals is like trying to count all the wrinkles on my face - impossible. Roman numerals only go up to M (which is 1,000), so anything beyond that is just a big ol' headache. Stick to regular numbers if you want to keep your sanity, trust me.
