How to Convert LXXX to Number

To convert LXXX from Roman numerals to a number, you simply need to know the values of the Roman numerals involved. L represents 50, and each X represents 10.

Identify the values of the symbols:L = 50X = 10 (and there are three Xs) Add the values together:L (50) + X (10) + X (10) + X (10) = 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 Result:50 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 80So, LXXX in Roman numerals is 80.
