i mean how to have a 95 in roman numeral is it VC or XCV. got confused with L and C. :D
2007-12-24 17:53:15 · update #1
XCV = 95
XCIX = 99
C is 100. L =50 X= 10 V=5 I=1
the number in front is subtracted from larger numbers behind and added to smaller numbers. only 3 of a number. if you need 4 go to the subtraction rule

I=1 , V=5 , X=10 , L=50 , C=100 , D=500 , M=1000
95 = VC (100-5)
99 = IC (100-1)
When the small Roman Numeral (e.g. X) is on the left hand side of the big Roman Numeral (e.g. D) , that means the relation of them is to subtract the small Roman Numeral from the big Roman Numeral:
XD = 490 (500-10)

VC doesn't exist.
C= 100
X = 10
V= 5
XC = 90 = 100 -10
XCV = 95 = 100-10 + 5
L = 50
VL doesn't exist.
XLV? XL = 50 -10 = 40, therefore XLV = 40 +5 = 45.
IL? Doesn't exist.
XLIX = 49
LXL = 50 + 10 + 50 so it doesn't equal 90! It equals 110!
99 = 90+9 = (100 -10 ) + 9 = XCIX.
LXLV = 50 + 10 + 50 + 5 = 115, not 95!

I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1,000
I, X, and M can usually be repeated up to 3 times in succession, so III=3, XXX=30, and MMM=3,000.
To write other values, place a smaller numeral before a larger to subtract it: IV=4, IX=9, XIX=19, XL=40, and LXL=90.
Placing a smaller after a larger adds it, so VI=6, XI=11, XXI=21, XLV=45, and LXLV=95.

95 is XCV
100 - 10 + 5 = 95
99 is XCIX
100 - 10 + 9 = 99

95 = 90+5 and so is written ax XCV, since XC is 90 and V is 5
99=90+9 so this is XC (90) IX(9) or XCIX
