What to Focus On

  • Roman numerals use letters to represent numbers.
  • There are 7 basic symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D, M.
  • There is no symbol for zero.
  • Repeating a symbol adds its value (e.g., III = 3).
  • Only I, X, C, M can be repeated.
  • A symbol cannot be repeated more than 3 times.
  • Numbers 1 to 3 are written by repeating I.
  • 4 is written as IV (5 – 1), not IIII.
  • 9 is written as IX (10 – 1).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any letter can be repeated three times to make bigger numbers.

IV means 1 + 5 = 6.

We can write 4 as IIII instead of IV.

Memory Tips

The 7 Roman numeral letters and their values: I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000

I, X, C, M can be repeated up to 3 times; V, L, D never repeated

IV = 4 (5 - 1), IX = 9 (10 - 1), XL = 40 (50 - 10)
