Xx = 20000.

Xxx = 30000.

Xxxx = 40000.

L = 50000.

Lx = 60000

No, no, no, that's not right... XX = 20, XXX = 30, and XXXX = 40, however 40 is more commonly written as XL (L = 50, preceded by an X = (L - X) or (50 - 10)).

As for 20,000, you could either write out 20 M's (MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM) or simply draw two X's with a line over them:

XX = 20,000

(To multiply by 1000, over-line your numerals)
