Roman Numerals Chart

Rules/Notes:
1) The Roman numeral system uses only seven symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M.
2) Roman numerals do not follow any place value system.
3) When certain numerals are repeated, the number represented by them is their sum. For
example, II = 1 + 1 = 2, or XX = 10 + 10 = 20, or, XXX = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30.
4) No Roman symbol is repeated more than three times. For example, we cannot write 40 as
XXXX.
5) While writing a Roman numeral, only the numerals I, X, C and M can be repeated. V, L and
D cannot be repeated.
6) Only I, X, and C can be used as subtractive numerals. There can be 6 combinations when we
subtract. These are IV = 5 - 1 = 4; IX = 10 - 1 = 9; XL = 50 - 10 = 40; XC = 100 - 10 = 90; CD =
500 - 100 = 400; and CM = 1000 - 100 = 900.
7) The value of the number is added from left to right if the left numeral is greater than the
right numeral. For example, VIII = 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8, or, XV = 10 + 5 = 15.
8) If the left numeral is smaller than the right numeral, subtract the value of the left value from
the right numeral. For example, IV = 5 - 1 = 4, or, XL = 50 - 10 = 40, or XC = 100 - 10 = 90.

9) When a Roman numeral of a smaller value is placed between two numerals of greater value,
it is subtracted from the numeral on its right. For example, XIV = 10 + (5 - 1) = 14, or, XIX = 10
+ (10 - 1) = 19.
10) Symbols V, L, D can never be subtracted while writing roman numerals.
11) Symbol ‘I’ can be subtracted from V and X only once.
12) Symbol X can be subtracted from L and C only.
13) There is no Roman numeral for zero (0).
14) To multiply a number by a factor of 1000 a bar is placed over it.
