What does IIVII mean in roman numeral?

Answer 1

In roman numerals, when an item of lesser value is placed in front of an item of greater value, that lesser value is subtracted from the total value. In this case, you have 11511. The VII represents 7 (5+1+1). The II before the VII notes the subtraction of 1+1 from 7, totalling 5, So, you have 5, add 2, and then basically subtract that 2 again.

IIVII = 5

ORRR someone was trying to make a really cool looking M! IIVII |Technically, that number doesn't exist. If you want to say 5, you just say V.

Answer 2

IIVII doesn't mean squat in Roman numerals because it's not a valid representation. If you want to express the number 7, you just write it as VII. So, IIVII is like trying to wear socks with sandals - it just doesn't work. Stick to the rules and keep it simple, honey.
