Know your Roman Numerals 1
The ancient Romans had a number system very different from the Arabic numbers we use today.They used the letters – I, V, X, L, C, D and M – as their basic digits. I = 1, V= 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500 and M = 1000. Rules to convert Roman numerals to their Arabic equivalents: 1. When the number with the higher value is placed before the one with a lower value, both numbers are added. 2. When a smaller value is placed before a larger one, the smaller value is subtracted from the larger one and the result is added to the total sum.
