LXXVI
It is very easy and a lot of fun to work with Roman numerals once you have learned a few simple rules that you learn in most 3rd grade math classes.
1. Learn the basic Roman numerals: 1=I, 5=V, 10=X, L=50
2. Expand the number:example 76=70+6
3. Remember that there is usually a rule to use only 3 of the
same symbols in a row, for example 4 is not usually
represented by IIII, so you would write III, and then use
the symbol for 5 (V) and place a 1 (I) on the
V...four would be IV...but six would be VI
So first expand 76 to 70+6 ....
choose L for 50, place XX next to make 70,
then 6 is written VI....76=LXXVI
Now isn't that simple?
How would you write nine, using the same rules?

Th answer is LXXVI
The system of number symbols created by the Romans had the merit of expressing all numbers from 1 to 1,000,000 with a total of seven symbols: I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D for 500, and M for 1000. Roman numerals are read from left to right. The symbols representing the largest quantities are placed at the left; immediately to the right of those are the symbols representing the next largest quantities, and so on. The symbols are usually added together. For example, LX = 60, and MMCIII = 2103. When a numeral is smaller than the numeral to the right, however, the numeral on the left should be subtracted from the numeral on the right. For instance, XIV = 14 and IX = 9. represents 1,000,000—a small bar placed over the numeral multiplies the numeral by 1000. Thus, theoretically, it is possible, by using an infinite number of bars, to express the numbers from 1 to infinity. In practice, however, one bar is usually used; two are rarely used, and more than two are almost never used. Roman numerals are still used today, more than 2000 years after their introduction. The Roman system's one drawback, however, is that it is not suitable for rapid written calculations.
