LXXXII

LXXXII is the Roman numeral for the integer 82. It is formed by adding the values of L (50), XXX (30), and II (2), yielding LXXXII. In standard Roman numeral notation, 82 is written additively rather than with subtractive pairs, so there is no shorter form for this value.

The arrangement shows the principle of descending values, with no need for subtraction. Subtractive notation is used for certain numbers (such as IV for 4 or XL for 40), but 82 is represented by LXXXII. This form is typical for numbers in the eighties range in Roman numerals.

Historically, Roman numerals were used throughout the Roman world and continued to appear in various contexts in medieval and modern times, including inscriptions, manuscripts, and scholarly works. Today, LXXXII may appear on clocks, book chapters, outlines, or dated inscriptions where Roman numerals are preferred for stylistic reasons. For years, 82 can denote a point in time such as 82 CE or 82 BCE in historical reference, though modern usage often favors Arabic numerals.

In arithmetic terms, 82 is an even, composite number, with a prime factorization of 2 × 41. As a numeral, LXXXII serves primarily as a representation in the Roman numeral system, distinct from other numeral systems used for general counting.
