ii + vi = viii
i = vii = viii
i + i + vi = viii
Remove one stick from the V will give you II = II
V plus VI Equals XI OR V Plus IV Equals IX
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.
The Roman numeral IIXI have no proper meaning . XI means eleven (11) and II means two (2). Placing II before XI means two less than eleven, or nine (9) However the Romans would have found that improperly complex and would have written it as IX (one less than ten)
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).

There is no definite answer, but it seems likely it was derived from an Etruscan tally stick method of counting.

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.

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.

You cannot. Although infinity was understood by the Ancient Romans (from the Latin infinitas), they had no symbol to denote it. CIƆ was the original symbol for 1,000, but was sometimes used to just mean "many", which isn't the same as saying infinity.John Wallis introduced the infinity symbol, ∞, in 1655, by which time the Hindu-Arabic numeral system had replaced the Roman numeral system. However, it is thought he may have derived the symbol from CIƆ, which was also written as ↀ (hence the influence on D, for 500). However it's just as likely he derived it from the Greek letter ω (omega).
