Seven basic numbers are used in Roman numerals: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M that stand for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000, respectively.

• Addition Rule: If a smaller number is written after a larger number, then they should be added together (e.g., VI means 5+1=6).
• Subtraction Rule: If a smaller number is written before a larger number, then it should be subtracted (e.g., IV means 5-1=4).
• Repetition Rule: The symbols I, X, C, and M can be repeated no more than three times consecutively; V, L, and D are not repeated.
• Position Rule: The standard position of Roman numerals is decreasing from left to right.
