    The document outlines the rules for writing Roman numerals and provides examples of numbers written in Hindu-Arabic numerals and their Roman numeral equivalents. Key rules include: 1) Adding a letter after a bigger value; 2) Subtracting a letter before a bigger value; 3) Letters can only be repeated three times; 4) V is never subtracted; 5) I can only be subtracted from V and X; and 6) V, L, and D are never repeated. Examples show breaking numbers into place values and combining letters accordingly to write the Roman numeral, such as XXXV for 35 by writing 30 + 5.

    Rules

    1) Putting a letter after a bigger value, means you add it.

    2) Putting a letter before a bigger value means you


    subtract it.

    3) The letters can be repeated three times only.

    4) V is never subtracted.

    5) I can be subtracted from V and X only.

    6) V, L, D are never repeated.


    Please check the rules given above while analysing the table below.

    3 1+1+1 III

    4 5-1 IV

    5 V

    6 5+1 VI

    7 5+1+1 VII

    8 5+1+1+1 VIII

    Hindu Arabic Roman Numerals

    10 X

    20 10+10 XX
    30 10+10+10 XXX

    40 50-10 XL

    [Note: As we cannot
    repeat X four times to
    make 40, we
    subtracted 10 from 50.
    So X is put left of L. See
    the rule no.2 and 3]

    50 L

    60 50+10 LX

    70 50+10+10 LXX

    80 50+10+10+10 LXXX

    90 100-10 XC

    100 C

    Let’s try to find the Roman numerals of the following numbers

    a) 35

    = 30+ 5 [Expanded form]

    = XXX + V

    = XXXV
    b) 24

    = 20 + 4

    = XX+ IV

    = XXIV

    c) 49

    = 40 + 9

    = XL + IX

    = XLIX

    Few more examples


    Numbers Expanded form Roman numerals
    75 70+5 LXXV
    =LXX + V
    64 60 + 4 LXIV
    = LX + IV
    132 100 + 30 +2 CXXXII
    = C + XXX + II
    98 90 + 8 XCVIII
    =XC + VIII
    86 80+ 6 LXXXVI
    =LXXX + VI
