Why is 19 in roman numerals xviiii or ixx and not the usual xix?

Because the Latin word for the Roman numerals XVIIII is novemdecim which literally means nineteen (19) and the Latin word for the numerals IXX is undeviginti which literally means one from twenty (20-1). Check it out in a Latin dictionary. The numerals XIX (there's no Latin word for this arrangement of numerals) are supposed to emulate the Hindu Arabic numerals 19 in subtractive notation. But the Roman numerals representing 19 in subtractive notation are IXX (20-1).

That being said, the currently accepted representation of 19 is indeed XIX (10 + 9), not IXX, as it is for 29 (XXIX), 39 (XXXIX), 49 (XLIX), 59 (LIX), 69 (LXIX), 79 (LXXIX), 89 (LXXXIX) and 99 (usually XCIX).

How would you actually add together 1776 and 19 entirely in Roman numerals but in two different ways with explanationss?
Because of changes made to the configuration of Roman numerals in the Middle Ages nowadays we would express 19 in Roman numerals as XIX but the ancient Romans would have probably expressed the equivalent of 19 as XVIIII or as IXX thus facilitating addition in either of the following formats-1: MDCCLXXVI+XVIIII = MDCCLXXXXV => 1776+19 = 17952: MDCCLXXVI+IXX = MDCCLXXXXV => 1776+(20-1) = 1795Note that in todays configuration of Roman numerals 1776+19 = MDCCXCVThe Latin words for XVIIII and IXX are 'novemdecim' and 'undeviginti' respectively but there is no Latin word for the equivalent of XIX.QED

Nowadays we would express 19 in Roman numerals as XIX but in ancient Rome the equivalent of 19 was XVIIII or IXX thus facilitating the speed and ease of addition in either of the following formats:-IXX+LXII = LXXXI => (20-1)+62 = 81LXXXI+IXX = C => 81+(20-1) = 100Alternatively:-XVIIII+LXII = LXXXI => 19+62 = 81LXXXI+XVIIII = C => 81+19 = 100Note that the Latin word for XVIIII is novemdecim and and for IXX it is undeviginti but there is no Latin word for todays notation of 19 as XIX
If 19 in roman numerals is ixx or xviiii then what is half of 19 in roman numerals?
While IXX is the Roman numeral expression for the Latin term nineteen, XIX is the more commonly used modern equivalent (see below), as in the year MMXIX , Louis XIX of France, or Super Bowl XIX.Roman Latin was the language spoken by the Romans. The Romans did their calculating by a combination of numerals which we call the Roman numeral system. The Roman numerals for 19 are IXX or XVIIII which in Latin is called undeviginti or novemdecim respectively. A common misconception is that 19 in Roman numerals is XIX. The Roman numeral for 1/2 (one-half) looks like an S which in Latin is called semis. So half of IXX is SX (-1/2+10) because SX+SX = IXX. And half of XVIIII is VIIIIS (9+1/2) because VIIIIS+VIIIIS = XVIIII. Roman numeral values: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1, S=1/2.Alternative conventionally accepted answer Roman numerals read from left to right, starting with the highest value numeral. So clearly writing 19 as XIX (10 + 9) or XVIIII (10 + 5 + 4) both follow this rule, while writing IXX (9 + 10) does not.
