Um, the question asks how many it is in Roman neumerals. It may be in improper syntax, but in Roman neumerals, it's VIXI. If you want it translated into Arabic neumerals, that's what you should ask for. You have left a roomfull of us dazed and confused at the question. Question improper, we don't REALLY know what kind of neumerals you started with (if you really wanted them translated into Roman), and if they are Roman to start with, they too are improper. AAARRRGGGHHH!

Many said 6 and 11, but it could also be 5, 9 and 1 or 5, 1 and 11. As mentioned, it's just not standard Roman Numeral format.
On the other hand, you can use a numerology trick (that many like to use with Hebrew numbers and names) and read each letter as a single digit: 5 1 10 1 . How you manipulate those numbers is up to you (the biblical numerologists come up with some seemingly amazing stuff by manipulating name numbers with the right math).

There was no zero as there was no need for it. The Roman counting system was based on the hand The V for 5 represents the an open hand(thumb and index) The X for 10 represents crossed hands We still use the word digits for numbers! Algebra with the concept of equations brought the need for zero Algebra is indeed an Arabic word There is a never ending debate on whether this was Arabic,Persian or Indian-so let's say Near East!!

There are seven basic Roman numerals.
I 1 (one) (unus)
V 5 (five) (quinque)
X 10 (ten) (decem)
L 50 (fifty) (quinquaginta)
C 100 (one hundred) (centum)
D 500 (five hundred) (quingenti)
M 1000 (one thousand) (mille)

The syntax is incorrect- this is not a number. If you consider the value of each letter and add them the total is 17, but that should be written as xvii.

It's 6 (VI) and 11 (XI). Putting them together in one bloc makes no sense, though.
