V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000 If a numeral is followed by another numeral of a lower denominations, the two are added together; if it is preceded by one of lower denomination, the smaller numeral is subtracted from the greater. ...
if it is preceded by one of lower denomination, the smaller numeral is subtracted from the greater. Thus, XI = 11 (X + I), but IX = 9 (X – I). Other examples are XXC = 80, CXL = 140, XV = 15, XLVIII = 48. Thousands from 1000 to 9000 are represented as: M, MM, MMM,...
