Solved Examples on LXX Roman Numerals

Practicing Roman numerals problems is important in learning algebraic operations on Roman numerals. Below are some Roman numeral examples:

Example 1: Convert LXXX Roman numerals to numbers.

Solution: Expand LXXX by writing it in parts as L + X + X + X

Replace each letter with a number and add/subtract to get the final number

L + X + X + X = 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 80

 

Example 2: Determine the value of 64 + 6 in Roman Numerals

Solution: To write 64 + 6 in Roman numerals, we first have to add 64 and 6 and then convert the result into Roman numerals

By adding 64 and 6, we get:

64 + 6 = 70

Now, split 70 into parts and replace each number with its Roman equivalent, we get 

50 + 10 + 10 = L + X + X = LXX

LXIV + VI = LXX

FAQs on LXX Roman Numerals

1. Write the numerical value of LXX Roman numerals.

Answer: To write the LXX Roman numeral in numerical value, we first need to break it into smaller parts and then add them as: L + X + X  = 50 + 10 + 10 = 70
