C=100
M=1000
X= 10
Thus CM= 100 before 1000 = 900
XC = 10 before 100 = 90
Therefore CMXC = 990
In today's notation of Roman numerals 990 is equivalent to CMXC but the ancient Romans would have notated it quite differently.
990
990 but today's way of writing it in Roman numerals is CMXC although the Romans themselves would have probably wrote it out as XM (-10+1000 = 990)
990 = 1000 - 10 Hence in Roman numerals it is 'XM'. NB In Roman numerals the letter for the larger value ALWAYS goes to the left, except when subtracting a number. Whereupon the smaller value goes to the left followed by the larger value. M = 1000 D = 500 C = 100 L = 50 X = 10 V = 5 I = 1
In today's modern conversion it is CMXC but the Romans themselves would have probably wrote it out simply as XM (-10+1000 = 990)

it means 1,150 in roman numerals
988 = CMLXXXVIII in Roman numerals
Not a valid sequence for Roman numerals
Those Roman Numerals mean 1991.
It does not mean anything because it is an invalid arrangement of Roman numerals
"D" in Roman Numerals equals 500.
