• MCMXCIII = 1000 + 900 + 90 + 3 = 1993
• MCMXCIV = 1000 + 900 + 90 + 4 = 1994
• MCMXCV = 1000 + 900 + 90 + 5 = 1995
• MCMXCVI = 1000 + 900 + 90 + 6 = 1996
• MCMXCVII = 1000 + 900 + 90 + 7 = 1997

MCMXCI  Roman Numerals Examples:

Example 1:

Difference between Roman number MCMXCI and XX.

MCMXCI  = 11991 and XX = 20
 

Now,
 

MCMXCI  - XX = 1991 - 20 = 1971

In roman numerals 1971 = MCMLXXI
 

Hence,
 

MCMXCI - XX = MCMLXXI

Example 2:

Product of roman numerals MCMXCI and IX.

MCMXCI = 1991 and IX = 9
 

Now,
 

MCMXCI * IX = 1991 * 9 = 17919

In roman numerals 17919 = XVMMCMXIX
 

Hence,
 

MCMXCI* IX = XVMMCMXIX

Example 3:

Divide MCMXCI by II and find the quotient.

MCMXCI= 1991 and II = 2
 

Now,
 

When we divide MCMXCI by II, 1991 divided by 2 the quotient is 995.

In roman numerals 995 = CMXCV
 

Hence,
 

MCMXCI ÷ by II = CMXCV

Example 4:

Sum of MCMXCI and X. 

MCMXCI = 1991 and X = 10
 

Now,
 

MCMXCI + X = 1991 + 10 = 2001

In roman numerals 2001 = MMI
 

Hence,
 

MCMXCI+ X = MMI
