Mathematics is possible using any base, but Roman numerals don't really have a base. I suppose it is possible, but would probably require a lot of converting between Roman numerals and denary.

Not really. You can't do much in the way of arithmetic with Roman numerals, because there is no symbol for zero.

I believe Romans divide by group instead of arabic long division , you still have remainders.

It'd be so complicated it wouldn't be worth bothering with!
Do you want to do it or just wondering?
I'd just change them to normal numbers and go from there!
