ROMAN TO ARABIC (OUR NUMBERS)

To convert Roman numerals to regular numbers: read left to right. If a smaller value comes before a larger one, subtract it; otherwise add it. XLII: X before L means 50−10=40, then add II=2. Total: 42.

XLII = ?

1XL = 40 (50 − 10)

2II = 2

340 + 2 = 42

= 42

LXVI = ?

1L = 50

2X = 10

3VI = 6

450 + 10 + 6 = 66

= 66
