Basic Rules for Writing Roman Numerals

To form Roman numerals like LXV correctly, these rules apply:

1. Symbols are usually written from larger to smaller.

Example: LXV = 50 + 10 + 5 = 65

2. No symbol can appear more than three times in a row.

Example: III = 3 (correct), but III is wrong.

3. The smaller numeral before the larger numerals indicates subtraction.

Example: IV = 5 - 1 = 4

4. Indicates adding a small numeral after a larger numeral.

Example: LXV = 50 + 10 + 5 = 65

5. V, L, and D are never repeated or subtracted

 

Solved Examples on LXV Roman Numerals

Example 1: Write 65 in Roman numerals.

Solution:

• Divide the number into parts: 50 + 10 + 5

• 50 = L, 10 = X, 5 = V

• Combine them: L + X + V = LXV.

 

Example 2: Write 64 in Roman numerals.
