Rules to Write Roman Numerals
While writing Roman Numerals, we have to follow these conversion rules :
Rule 1. If a bigger letter proceeds to a smaller then the letters are added.
For example XI, X > I, so XI = X + I = 10 + 1 = 11
Rule 2. If a smaller letter proceeds to a smaller then the letters are subtracted.
For example IX, I < X, so IX = IX = 10 – 1 = 9
Rule 3. If a letter repeats multiple time they are added
For example XXX = X + X + X = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
Rule 4. A letter can not be repeated more than three times and V, L, and D cannot be repeated, they appear only once.
