How to Read Roman Numerals
Roman numerals use seven letters to represent numbers: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Each letter has a specific value:
- I = 1
- V = 5
- X = 10
- L = 50
- C = 100
- D = 500
- M = 1000
Roman Numerals Rules
There are specific rules for forming Roman numerals:
- When a smaller numeral appears before a larger numeral, it is subtracted (e.g., IV = 4).
- When a smaller numeral appears after a larger numeral, it is added (e.g., VI = 6).
- A numeral is not repeated more than three times in a row (e.g., 4 is IV, not IIII).
- Only I, X, and C can be used for subtraction (V, L, and D cannot).
- A numeral can only be subtracted from the next two higher numerals (e.g., I can be subtracted from V and X only).
Examples from the Chart
Let's look at some examples from our Roman numerals 1-100 chart:
- IV = 5 - 1 = 4
- IX = 10 - 1 = 9
- XL = 50 - 10 = 40
- XC = 100 - 10 = 90
- LX = 50 + 10 = 60
- LXX = 50 + 10 + 10 = 70
Practical Applications of Roman Numerals
Roman numerals are still used today in various contexts:
- Clock and watch faces
- Numbering of book chapters and volumes
- Numbering of movie sequels (e.g., Rocky IV)
- Names of monarchs and popes (e.g., Elizabeth II)
- Building cornerstones and copyright dates
