Roman Numeral Tips

πŸ”€ Seven Symbols

Every Roman numeral is built from just seven letters: I=1   V=5   X=10   L=50   C=100   D=500   M=1000

βž• Add When It Gets Smaller

Usually you just add the symbols up left to right: VII = 5 + 1 + 1 = 7

βž– Subtract When It Gets Bigger

If a smaller symbol comes right before a bigger one, you subtract it instead: IV = 5 βˆ’ 1 = 4, IX = 10 βˆ’ 1 = 9

🚫 No Zero, No Repeating Too Much

The Romans didn't have a symbol for zero, and you never repeat a letter more than three times in a row β€” that's why 4 is IV, not IIII.

🎬 Where You'll Spot Them

Movie credits, Super Bowl numbers, clock faces, and the last page of a book's introduction often use Roman numerals instead of regular digits.
