VMLXAccording to:
https://byjus.com/maths/roman-numerals/

. When a symbol of a smaller value appears before a greater value symbol, it will be subtracted. For Example- IX = X – I = 10 – 1 = 9.

. The symbols V, L, and D are never subtracted, as they are not written before a greater value symbol.

I have not been able to find any information that the Romans depicted numbers as products of numerals. Please let us know if you find such.

Cheers,
Tom

That's why I used the overlined symbol. $\overline{V}=MMMMM>M.$

There are various ways to deal with numbers greater than a thousand. Overlining is one of them.

Hmmm... The overline doesn't show on my screen. I now see in the Quote that the overline instruction is there but is still is not being executed on this end, even after a screen refresh.

Will so note in my earlier post.

I know I should laugh at that and move on, but part of my brain winced so hard at crossing "nothing" off a todo list that I think I sprained something. I even started to wonder how he got a pencil to draw such a clear line on an unsupported piece of paper like that. Underwater.

Excuse me. I'll be in the corner, rocking quietly and chanting the MST3K mantra under my breath.

I remember someone saying in a talk that, unlike a double negative turning into a positive, the same was never the case with double positives( i.e., that they turned into negatives). The reply from someone in the audience was " Yeah, right!".
