"CLXXV" is a Roman numeral that represents the number 175. Roman numerals were commonly used in ancient Rome and are still occasionally used today for various purposes, such as indicating the year on copyright dates or in formal documents.
The numeral "CLXXV" consists of three capital letters: C, L, and X, representing 100, 50, and 10 respectively in the Roman numeral system. The letters are arranged in descending order from left to right, which indicates their value. The letter "C" represents 100, "L" represents 50, and "X" represents 10. Adding these values together gives a total of 160 (C + L + X = 100 + 50 + 10 = 160).
To represent the number 175, the Roman numeral system uses a special rule called subtractive notation. In this case, the letter "C" is followed by the letter "L" and then the letter "XXV." This indicates that the value of "CLXXV" represents subtracting 10 (X) from 150 (CL) to give a total value of 140. Finally, adding 35 (XXV) to 140 results in the number 175.
Overall, "CLXXV" is a Roman numeral representation of the number 175, formed by combining the values of C (100), L (50), and X (10), applying subtractive notation to indicate the specific value of the numeral.
