Basic Rules to Write Roman Numerals

• Repetition Rule: A symbol can be repeated only 3 times.
  Example: XX = 20, CC = 200
  
  A symbol is added to itself if repeated.
  Example: III = 3, XXX = 30

• Subtractive Rule: If a smaller symbol precedes a larger one, we subtract.
  Example: IX = 10 – 1 = 9
  
  

• Additive Rule: If a smaller symbol comes after a bigger one, we add.
  Example: VI = 5 + 1 = 6
  
  

• Symbols V (5), L (50), and D (500) are never repeated and never subtracted.
  
  

• I can be subtracted only from V and X and X can be subtracted only from L, C, and M.
  
  

Solved Examples on 151 in Roman Numerals

Example 1: Add CXL (140) and XI (11) and write the sum in Roman numerals.

Solution: CXL = 140 and XI = 11

Now, add the value of CXL and XI: 140 + 11 = 151

In Roman numeral 151 = CLI

So, CXL (140) + XI (11) = CLI (151)

 

Example 2: Subtract and write result in Roman numerals: 170 –  19.

Solution: 170 = CLXX and 19 = XIX

170 – 19 = 151

CLXX – XIX = CLI (which equals 151)

 

Example 3: Multiply II(2) with LXXV (75).

Solution: 75 x 2 = 150

Roman numeral for 150 = CL

 

Example 4: A book shows the page number written as CLI. What number does it represent?
