Question

Write the Hindu-Arabic numeral for each of the following:
(i) CCXLII
(ii) CDLXV
(iii) LXXVI
(iv) DCCXLI
(v) XCIV
(vi) CXCIX

Answer 1

(i) CCXLII = 100 + 100 + (50 − 10) + 2 = 242
(ii) CDLXV = (500 − 100) + 50 + 10 + 5 = 465
(iii) LXXVI = 50 + 10 + 10 + 6 = 76
(iv) DCCXLI = 500 + 100 + 100 + ( 50 − 10) + 1 = 741
(v) XCIV = (100 − 10) + 4 = 94
(vi) CXCIX = 100 + (100 − 10) + 9 = 199
