Decoding MCMLII: From Roman Numerals to Numbers

In the Roman numeral MCMLII, we need to break down each primary symbol and apply the addition rule of Roman numerals. Here, M = 1000, C = 100 and I = 1.

Thus, MCMLII = M + CM + L + I + I.

MCMLII = M + (M – C) + L + I + I.

MCMLII = 1000 + (1000 – 100) + 50 + 1 + 1.

MCMLII = 1000 + 900 + 50 + 2.

MCMLII = 1952.
