(2) Its place in the number. The figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, are called significant figures. 8.

When a letter is followed by the same letter or by one of less value, add the values of the letters. Thus, II= 2; XX = 20; II. When a letter is followed by one of greater value, subtract the letter of less value from the letter of greater value. XL=40; CD = 400. Thus, IV4; IX = 9; XL=40; 1. Write 1776 in Roman notation. 1776 = 1000+ 700 + 70 +6 M+ DCC + LXX + VI = MDCCLXXVI |
