The answer to this question is capital 'C', which denotes century in roman language.

Roman numerals work such that when one of a smaller value is placed before one of a larger value it really means to subtract. Like 4 = IV (or V - I, 5-1), and XIV is 10+5-1, while XVI is 10+5+1. Just takes some getting used to.

You can't. Romans didn't use roman numerials to perform math. Roman numerials were use simply to write out the answer to math problems. Romans used a counting board, much like an abacus, to perform math.

that's a really difficult question to answer because Romans didn't really use placeholders and signs to indicate the mathematics. They wrote it out somewhat as mac13eth best describes for what's involved.

Actually you really can't write the equation as we see it but since 10x10=100, you could write the answer as C

Romans wrote equations out in words. I don't know the Latin, but it would basically be:
The product of ten (X) and (X) is one hundred (C).

X*X=C (100)

LOL I see math differently than most and wish I could draw a cirlce around these X's and I's. I don't have a clue how they did it long ago.
