What is cm lxix in Roman Numerals?

Answer 1

First of all Roman numerals are written in CAPITAL letters. 'cm lxix' should be written as 'CMLXIX'.

M = 1000

C = 100

L = 50

X = 10

I = 1

The largest value always goes to the left followed by the smaller values. Except, when a smaller value is written to the left of a larger value you subtract the smaller value from the larger value to the right.

Hence

CMLXIX = ( 1000 - 100) + 50 + 10 +(10 - 1) = 900 + 50 + 10 + 9 = 969. The answer!!!!

Answer 2

Cm = 900

lxix = 69
