Combine symbols to make Roman numerals Read left to right If the small numeral comes after a big numeral, add it (add as much as three) –VIII V + I + I + I = 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 –XV X + V = 10 + 5 –LX L + X = 50 + 10 –MDCCCLXXXVIII 1000 + 500 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1888 Arabic1510501005001000 RomanIVXLCDM

Combine symbols to make Roman numerals Arabic1510501005001000 RomanIVXLCDM Read left to right If the small numeral comes before a big numeral, subtract it (subtract only one symbol at a time, one place value away) –IX -I + X = -1 + 10 –XIV X + IV = 10 + (-1 + 5) –CD -C + D = -100 + 500 –MCMXCIX M CM XC IX 1000 + (-100 + 1000) + (-10 + 100) + (-1 + 10) = 1999

LC ≠ L (simplify!) IIX ≠ VIII (you can only subtract one symbol at a time) IC ≠ XCIX (you can only subtract from one place value away)
