CMXX

CMXX is a Roman numeral representing the number 1920. In the Roman numeral system, C represents 100, X represents 10, and V represents 5. The numeral is constructed by combining these symbols. When a smaller numeral is placed before a larger numeral, it is subtracted. However, in CMXX, C is placed before M, which represents 1000. CM is therefore 1000 - 100 = 900. The two Xs are then added, totaling 20. Thus, CMXX equals 900 + 20, which is 1920. This system of Roman numerals was widely used in ancient Rome and continues to be recognized for historical and symbolic purposes. Examples of its use can be found in dating historical documents, numbering chapters in books, or in architectural inscriptions. The specific combination CMXX is less common in everyday usage compared to simpler numerals but follows the established rules of Roman numeral formation.
