Convert 345 to a Roman numeral
Roman Numeral Values are:
I = 1, V = 5, X = 10
L = 50, C = 100, D = 500,
M = 1,000
We start with a total letter value of 345
+ CCC = CCC
3 of the letter C gives us
3 * 100 = 300
Total: 345 - 300 = 45
We want 3 or less of a letter
We need to subtract
Write the next letter of L in front of X
CCC + XL = CCCXL
1 letter X and 1 letter L gives us:
50 - 10 = 40
Total: 45 - 40 = 5
CCCXL + V = CCCXLV
1 of the letter V gives us
1 * 5 = 5
Total: 5 - 5 = 0
