Key Rules for Writing Roman Numerals 50 to 100

• L = 50, C = 100, X = 10, V = 5, I = 1
• A smaller symbol before a bigger one is subtracted (e.g., XC = 90 = 100 – 10)
• A smaller or same symbol after a bigger one is added (e.g., LXX = 50 + 10 + 10 = 70)
• Repeating a symbol more than three times is not allowed (use XC for 90, not LXXXX)
• Use only valid combinations: e.g., 99 is XCIX (not IC), 89 is LXXXIX

Step-by-Step Example: Converting Numbers to Roman Numerals

Let’s convert the number 78 to Roman numerals:

1. 78 = 50 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1

2. 50 is L

3. 10 + 10 is XX

4. 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 is VIII

5. Combine: L + XX + VIII = LXXVIII

Another example: 94

1. 94 = 90 + 4

2. 90 is XC (100 – 10)

3. 4 is IV

4. Combine: XC + IV = XCIV

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Writing 90 as LXXXX (correct: XC)
• Using four I’s in a row (the usual limit is 3; 4 is IV)
• Writing 99 as IC (correct: XCIX)
• Repeating X’s more than three times for numbers above 89 (use XC for 90)
