What Roman number should multiply to 35?
Answer:
To get 35 (represented as ‘XXXV’ in Roman numerals), you could multiply V (5) and VII (7) in Arabic numerals. However, this doesn’t align with the rules of the Roman numeral system as they did not use multiplication as we do. It should be noted this is a simplification to accommodate the question.
Explanation:
If we’re looking to multiply two Roman numerals to get the result 35 (in Arabic numerals), it’s helpful to first express 35 in Roman numerals. 35 is ‘XXXV’ in Roman numerals. So, we’re seeking two Roman numerals whose product equals ‘XXXV’.
Since the Roman numeral system doesn’t employ multiplication in the way we do, this question is a bit tricky. But if we take a simpler approach, we could say that ‘V’ (5) and ‘VII’ (7) would be the numbers we are looking for, because 5*7 equals 35 in our Arabic numeral system.
However, it should be noted that this doesn’t mean that ‘V’ times ‘VII’ equals ‘XXXV’ under the rules of Roman numerals because multiplication as we understand it wasn’t a concept in the Roman numeral system.
