|---|---|---|
| Tens | 60 | LX |

LXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: LX (60) + VIII (8) = 68.
Common mistakes
Wrong: LXIIX
Why isn't 68 written as LXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 68 is LXVIII.
