L | 50 |
C | 100 |
D | 500 |
M | 1000 |

5 | V |

50 | L |

1000 | M |
The basic rule is when the larger number is in front, then add, when the smaller number is in front, then minus. For example:
- VI: where V is 5 and I is 1, V is larger and in front, so add the 2 numbers together 5+1 = 6
- IL: where L is 50 and I is 1, I is smaller and in front, so minus the 2 numbers together 50-1 = 49
- where the letters are the same, add together: III = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
Convert Rules:
The following is the table to convert from Roman numerals to Arabic numbers. For example,
- 23 = 20 + 3 = XX + III = XXIII
- 58 = 50 + 8 = L + VIII = LVIII
