Without seeing the HTML code it's hard to suggest a search a proper regex.
Switch to code view mode and locate the number. If it looks like this:

Code:

<p>55</p>

select the regular expression mode (Regex) and use the following expression:

Code:

<p>\d+</p>

and replace with nothing.

For upper case roman numerals use:

Code:

<p>[MDCLXVI]+</p>

Note that you can't use this expression with replace all, because it might also match certain upper case words.

For more examples, see the Sigil Regex thread.
