62 in Roman numerals
62 is written LXII. In chunks: L (50) + X (10) + I (1) + I (1) = 62.
The answer
LXII
62 in Roman numerals is LXII.
How LXII is built
To write it, split 62 into 60 + 2. 60 is LX, 2 is II, so 62 is LX then II: LXII.
To read it, LXII has 4 chunks, and none of them is a take-away pair, so every chunk is added.
| Chunk | Worth | Why |
|---|---|---|
| L | 50 | Add |
| X | 10 | Add |
| I | 1 | Add |
| I | 1 | Add |
The mistake to watch for
Writing 62 as XXXXXXII
Wrong: XXXXXXII
XXXXXXII forgets L. Fifty has its own letter, and X can only be written three times in a row, so 60 is LX, which makes 62 LXII.
