Solved Examples on CCCXC Roman Numeral

Example 1. Write the numerical value of CCCXC Roman numeral.

Solution: CCCXC = C + C + C + (C − X)
= 100 + 100 + 100 + (100 − 10)
= 300 + 90
= 390

Therefore, CCCXC = 390

Example 2. Write 390 in Roman numerals.

Solution: 390 = 300 + 90
300 = CCC
90 = XC

Therefore, 390 = CCCXC

Example 3. Find the value of CCCXC + X.

Solution: CCCXC = 390, X = 10

390 + 10 = 400

400 in Roman numerals = CD

Therefore, CCCXC + X = CD

Example 4. Subtract XC from CCCXC.

Solution: CCCXC = 390, XC = 90

390 − 90 = 300

300 in Roman numerals = CCC

Therefore, CCCXC − XC = CCC

Example 5. What is the sum of CCC + XC?

Solution: CCC = 300, XC = 90

300 + 90 = 390

390 in Roman numerals = CCCXC

Therefore, CCC + XC = CCCXC
