How LXVIII is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- LXtens · 6L (50) plus X (10) makes 60.
- VIIIones · 8V (5) plus III (3) makes 8.
60 + 8 = 68
No subtraction is needed here: every letter is the same size or smaller than the one before it, so you simply add them up.
