The
'techo' title above just means that in order to represent
larger numbers the Romans simply 'added' the symbols together.

LXXXIII = 50 + 10 +
10 +10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 83
Hints:
-
When writing roman numerals never use more than 3 of any

-
When you have numerals on the right hand side of bigger
ones, ADD.
Have

- What is LXI in our
