Talk:49 (number)

Several Internet sites say that "The proper way to write 49 is XLIX, not IL", but this page mentions it nowhere. Do any pages at Wikipedia mention this?? (unsigned)

See Roman numerals. There's no "one" "correct" way to write 49. The Romans certainly wouldn't have cared. XLIX is the more usual these days. - Nunh-huh 23:35, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Let's check this Unary one by factorization:

IIIIIII
