The image presents four operations involving Roman numerals:
Addition, Multiplication, Subtraction, and Division. Let's go through each one step by step, verify the solutions, and explain the logic behind them.

🔹 1. Addition of Roman Numerals
Problem: Find the sum of
LXXX and
VI.
#### Step-by-step:
-
LXXX = 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 =
80
-
VI = 5 + 1 =
6
- Sum: 80 + 6 =
86
Now convert
86 to Roman numerals:
- 86 = 50 + 30 + 6 = L + XXX + VI =
LXXXVI
✔ Answer: LXXXVI
✔️ Correct.

🔹 2. Multiplication of Roman Numerals
Problem: Find the product of
IX and
XC.
#### Step-by-step:
-
IX = 10 - 1 =
9 (since I before X means subtract)
-
XC = 100 - 10 =
90 (C before X means subtract)
- Product: 9 × 90 =
810
Now convert
810 to Roman numerals:
- 810 = 500 + 300 + 10 = D + CCC + X =
DCCCX
✔ Answer: DCCCX
✔️ Correct.

🔹 3. Subtraction of Roman Numerals
Problem: Subtract
LI from
XCV.
#### Step-by-step:
-
LI = 50 + 1 =
51
-
XCV = 100 - 10 + 5 =
95 (because XC = 90, then V = 5 → 95)
- Now: 95 - 51 =
44
Convert
44 to Roman numerals:
- 44 = 40 + 4 = XL + IV =
XLIV
✔ Answer: XLIV
✔️ Correct.
---
🔹 4. Division of Roman Numerals
Problem: Find the quotient of
MCXI and
XI.
#### Step-by-step:
-
MCXI = 1000 + 100 + 10 + 1 =
1111
-
XI = 10 + 1 =
11
- Now divide: 1111 ÷ 11 =
101
Convert
101 to Roman numerals:
- 101 = 100 + 1 =
CI
✔ Answer: CI
✔️ Correct.
---
✔ Final Summary:
| Operation | Problem | Answer |
|---------|--------|--------|
| Addition | LXXX + VI |
LXXXVI |
| Multiplication | IX × XC |
DCCCX |
| Subtraction | XCV - LI |
XLIV |
| Division | MCXI ÷ XI |
CI |
All calculations are correct and well-explained in the image.
