The answer
XCII
92 in Roman numerals is XCII.
How XCII is built
To write it, split 92 into 90 + 2. 90 is XC, 2 is II, so 92 is XC then II: XCII.
To read it, XCII has 3 chunks, and XC is a take-away pair, worked out first and then added.
| Chunk | Worth | Why |
|---|---|---|
| XC | 90 | X before C: take away |
| I | 1 | Add |
| I | 1 | Add |
The mistake to watch for
Writing 92 as LXXXXII
Wrong: LXXXXII
LXXXXII writes X four times in a row. Never more than three: 90 is XC, ten before a hundred, which makes 92 XCII.
