47 Convert to Roman Numeral
By Isabella Wilson
Convert 47 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 47
Subtract 47from 4 of X
We want 3 or less of a letter
We need to subtract
Write the next letter of L in front of X
+ XL = XL
1 letter X and 1 letter L gives us:
50 - 10 = 40
Total: 47 - 40 = 7
Subtract 7 by 1 of letter V
XL + V = XLV
1 of the letter V gives us
1 * 5 = 5
Total: 7 - 5 = 2
Subtract 2 by 2 of letter I
XLV + II = XLVII
2 of the letter I gives us
2 * 1 = 2
Total: 2 - 2 = 0
Since our total = 0, we have our answer
XLVII
