Basic Rules for Writing Roman Numerals

To write and read Roman numerals correctly, remember these important rules:

1. Addition Rule: Add the values ​​when the smaller numeral comes after the larger one. Example: VI = 5 + 1 = 6

2. Subtraction Rule: When the smaller numeral comes before the larger one, subtract it. Example: IX = 10 − 1 = 9

3. Repetition Rule: The numerals I, X, C, and M can be repeated up to three times. Example: III = 3, XX = 20, CCC = 300

4. Non-repetition Rule: The symbols V, L, and D are never repeated.

5. Largest to Smallest Order: Write the numeral in decreasing order from left to right unless using subtraction. Example: CLVI = 100 + 50 + 10 + 5 + 1 =166
