The position of the numeral Nature of Mathematics (MindTap Course List), Chapter 4.CR, Problem 1CR , additional homework tip  12 is left of the numeral Nature of Mathematics (MindTap Course List), Chapter 4.CR, Problem 1CR , additional homework tip  13 and also to the right of the same Nature of Mathematics (MindTap Course List), Chapter 4.CR, Problem 1CR , additional homework tip  14.

Thus, the given numeral must be greater than 60.

Also here we have numeral to the left of the second 60-group.

Thus,

Nature of Mathematics (MindTap Course List), Chapter 4.CR, Problem 1CR , additional homework tip  15

=(10+1)×60+10+1

=11×60+10+1

=660+10+1

=671.

XLVIII

The above given numeral is in the system of Roman numeration.

The following table lists the value of each selected numeral of DL¯.

Selected Numeral (Roman Numeration) Equivalent numeral in decimal system
X 10
L 50
V 5
I 1

Thus,

=XLVIII

=(5010)+5+1+1+1

=40+5+3

=48

DCCIX

The above given numeral is in the system of Roman numeration.

The following table lists the value of each selected numeral of CD.

Selected Numeral (Roman Numeration) Equivalent numeral in decimal system
D 500
C 100
I 1
X 10

Thus,

=DCCIX

=500+100+100+(101)

=700+9

=709

In the above examples changing the position of the symbol changes the value of the numeral.

Therefore, when the numeration system is positional, then the symbols of numerals should be placed in its position for not to change the original value of the number.
