Hints in reading Roman Numerals
If a smaller character comes after a larger character, then add the
value of the two characters together.
EXAMPLES:
XI means 10 + 1 = 11
XXVI means 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 26
If a smaller character comes before a larger character, then subtract the
value of the smaller from the value of the larger character.
EXAMPLES:
IX means 10 – 1 = 9
XL means 50 – 10 = 40
More Examples:
C L X V I I
CLXVII means 100 + 50 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 167
L IX
LIX means 50 + (10 - 1), or 50 + 9 = 59
XL I I I
XLIII means (50 - 10) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 43
X V I
XVI means 10 + 5 + 1 = 16
IC
XCIX means (100 - 10)+(10 - 1), or 90 + 9 = 99
XL IX
XLIX means (50 - 10)+(10 - 1), or 40 + 9 = 49
