How CLXVI is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- Chundreds · 1C is 100.
- LXtens · 6L (50) plus X (10) makes 60.
- VIones · 6V (5) plus I (1) makes 6.
100 + 60 + 6 = 166
No subtraction is needed here: every letter is the same size or smaller than the one before it, so you simply add them up.
