“Roman numerals or Roman numbers are numbering systems originating in
ancient Rome. This numbering system uses Latin letters to represent
numerical numbers”

Example:
2018
=
MMXXVIII
 A. Basic Number

The basic symbol or basis of Roman numbers includes:

Roman I V X L C D M
Numerals
Decimal 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000

Number

Example:
III represents number 3.
IV represents number 4.
II represents number 2.
XXX represents number 30.
 B. Multiples of 1000 (one thousand)

The basic symbol or basis of Roman numbers includes:

Roman Numerals
V X L C D M
Decimal Number 5.000 10.000 50.000 100.000 500.000 1.000.000

Example:
5055 = V LV
7700 = VMMDCC
 C. Rules for Writing Roman Numbers

1. Writing basic numbers in a row only applies to unit numbers, tens, hundred, thousand, etc.

2. Writing numbers in a row on the provisions (1) is only allowed at most three times.

3. A base number in provision (1) states a larger deduction of numbers, if it is located to the left of the
larger number. Reduction is the numbers in the provision (1) and the location is at most 2 levels from
the reduced number.

4. Writing numbers in terms of (2) states a larger base number enhancer, if it is located to the right of
the larger base number.
 Explanation of Rule

1. Writing basic numbers in a row only applies to unit numbers, tens, hundred,
thousand, etc.
Example:
Right: II = 2, XX = 20, CCC = 300, MMM = 3,000,
Wrong: VV = 10, LL = 100, DDD = 1,500,

2. Writing numbers in succession to the provisions (1) is only permitted at most

three times.
Example:
Right: III = 3, XXX = 30, CCC = 300
Wrong: IIII = 4, XXXX = 40, MMMM = 4,000
 Explanation of Rule
3. A base number in provision (1) states a larger deduction of numbers, if it is
located to the left of the larger number. Reduction is the numbers in the
provision (1) and the location is at most 2 levels from the reduced number.
Example:
Example:
Right: IX = 10 - 1 = 9, XL = 50 - 10 = 40
Wrong: IL = 50 - 1 = 49, VL = 50 - 5 = 45
4. Writing numbers in terms of (2) states a larger base number increase, if it is
located to the right of the larger base number.
Example:
Right: VII = 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 CX = 100 + 10 = 110
XIII = 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13, CXX = 100 + 10 + 10 = 120
Wrong: LVV = 500 + 5 + 5 = 510, XCC = 10 + 100 + 100 = 210
