How do write 199 in Roman numerals?

Answer 1

Roman numerals are fun. I could simply give you the answer, but here's some info on it as a whole.. Lets see if I can explain this. If a number less than one of the "base numbers" is needed, it is written BEFORE the base. If it is above, it is written afterwards.

I = 1

V = 5

X = 10

L = 50

C = 100

D = 500

M = 1000

So, as an example, "4" would be written as IV. Whereas "6" would be VI.

Expanding on this, "49" would be XLIX, using XL (10 away from 50) for 4 and IX (1 away from 10) for 9.

So, to answer your original question, 199 is roman numerals is written as:

CXCIX

C for the first 100, XC for the next 90, and IX for the last 9.
