What is 14 in Roman numerals?

To convert the number 14 into Roman numerals, we break down the number based on its components. In Roman numeral representation, numbers are formulated using combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet, primarily I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000).

For the number 14, we can express it as 10 + 4. In Roman numerals, 10 is represented by the letter X, and 4 is represented as IV (which combines I before V to indicate one less than five). Therefore, when combined, 14 is represented as XIV (X for 10 followed by IV for 4).

This process shows how Roman numerals work by adding values and recognizing combinations that denote subtraction or addition of the values. Hence, XIV is the correct Roman numeral representation for 14.
