Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and are still used today in various applications. The basic symbols are: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), M (1000).
Basic Rules of Roman Numeration
- Addition: When a smaller symbol follows a larger one, they are added (VI = 6)
- Subtraction: When a smaller symbol precedes a larger one, it is subtracted (IV = 4)
- Repetition: Symbols I, X, C, M can be repeated up to three times in a row (exception — the letter M in classic notation)
- Limited subtraction: Only I, X, C can precede larger symbols
