How to write 79 in Roman numerals
Break 79 into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, then write each part with the largest symbols first:
- 70 (tens) = LXX
- 9 (ones) = IX
Join them: LXXIX.
LXXIX uses the subtraction rule in IX: a smaller symbol placed before a larger one is taken away from it, so IX = 9. Only I, X and C are used this way.
