24 is XXIV. 10 is X. Roman numerals are consistent with a gadget of including; 20 is XX (2 Xs). V is 5 and that i is a million. with the aid of fact Roman numerals are written from best selection to smallest (and V is larger than I), IV would desire to be a pre-widely used selection. IV is asserting, "! selection earlier V," or 4. positioned all of it at the same time (20 = XX, 4 = IV) and your selection is XXIV.

Yes, very rarely though, and unfortunately you'd have to take my word on that one. As a historian, I know I have read texts that use IIX, but usually if there is a deviation away from the standard it is usually in addition, not subtraction. That is, VIIII (9) is less common than IX, but still valid and still more common than, as you have given, IIX. Generally, texts that contain IIX are poor copies of older works too (thus, usually a mistake made in copying).

The Roman Numeral for 8 is XIII I think

The answer is: it could be, but it probably wouldn't be.
