Basic Rules to Write Roman Numeral

There are 4 fundamental Roman numerals rules that we need to follow for writing or converting Roman numbers correctly.

• Addition Rule: When smaller numerals follow larger ones, their values are added.
  Example: VI = 5 + 1 = 6 

• Subtraction Rule: When a smaller numeral comes before a larger one, it is subtracted.
  Example: IX = 10 − 1 = 9

• Repetition Rule: Symbols I, X, C, and M can be repeated up to three times.
  Example: XXX = 30
  
  

• Non-Repetition Rule: Symbols V, L, and D cannot be repeated.
  
  

Solved Examples on CXL Roman Numerals

Example 1: Calculate the value of CI + IX in Roman numerals.

Solution: To find the value of CL – X, let’s convert it first into numbers:

CL = C + L = 100 + 50 = 150  and X = 10 

CL – X = 150 – 10 = 140

CL – X = CXL

 

Example 2: Write 140 in Roman numerals.

Solution: To write 140 in Roman numerals, we first have to expand it and then replace each number with the respective symbol as:

140 = 100 + (50 - 10)

140 = C + (L - X)

140 = CXL

Hence, 140 = CXL

Example 3: Find the value of CXX + XXX in Roman numerals.

Solution: To find the value of CXX + XX in Roman numerals, first convert it into numbers: 

CXX = 100 + 10 + 10 = 120 and XXX = 10 + 10 = 20

CXX + XX = 120 + 20

CXX + XXX = 140

140 in Roman numerals is written as CXL
