What to Focus On

  • Roman numerals use letters to represent numbers.
  • The main Roman numerals are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M.
  • There is no zero in Roman numerals.
  • I, X, C, M can be repeated up to 3 times.
  • V, L, D are never repeated.
  • Smaller numeral on the right → Add.
  • Break the number into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
  • Write Roman numerals for each part.
  • Combine them in order.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

V, L, and D can be subtracted just like I, X, and C.

I can be subtracted from any larger numeral, like L or C.

You can repeat V, L, or D three times to make larger numbers.

Memory Tips

Basic Roman Numerals: 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

Subtraction Rule: I before V/X, X before L/C, C before D/M
