If you mean CI minus XLVIII then it is LIII because 101 minus 48 = 53
If you mean as in Roman numerals CI - XLVIII then it is LIII
XL = 40 VIII = 8 XLVIII = 48
40, XL signifies 50 (L) minus 10 (X).
You would get the 40 using 50 minus 10 or XL. Two is represented with II, so that 42 is XLII.
In today's notation we would write it out as (VIII)CDLXXXIX = 8000+400+80+9 = 8489 But the Romans themselves probably wrote it out as L(VIII)DXXXVIII = minus 50 plus 8539 = 8489
If you mean as in Roman numerals CI - XLVIII then it is LIII
XL = 40 and VIII = 8 So: XL + VIII = XLVIII
XL = 40 VIII = 8 XLVIII = 48
40, XL signifies 50 (L) minus 10 (X).
The Roman numeral for 948 is CMXLVIII. (CM = 900, XL = 40, VIII= 8)
40 would usually be written as XL (fifty minus ten)
XLIII L=50 X=10 V=5 I=1 To explain how you get 40 from XL you have to understand Roman Numerals. For instance when you have IV which is equal to 4 it is like saying 5 minus 1 so we can assume that XL is 50 minus 10 equals 40. Now we have XL=40 so just add on 3 which would be III and you get XLIII. XL + III= XLIII which is equal to 43.

In today's terms the Roman numerals from 20 to 50 are: Units from 1 to 9: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX Tens from 20 to 50: XX, XXX, XL, L To select any numeral simply write out the tens first followed by the units. Examples: 28 = XX+VIII = XXVIII and 49 = XL+IX = XLIX
Just put a minus sign in front of them. But be careful when subtracting numerals that have a subtractive element in them. For example: C-XL = LX because it is the same as 100 - (- 10 + 50) = 60. In mathematics a minus followed by a minus is equal to a plus - (- 10) = 10 try it out on your calculator.
