How to Translate Roman Numerals

If smaller numbers follow larger numbers, the numbers are added. If a smaller number

precedes a larger number, the smaller number is subtracted from the larger. For

example, if you want to say 1,100 in Roman Numerals, you would say M for 1000 and

then put a C after it for 100; in other words 1,100=MC in Roman Numerals.

· VIII = 5+3 = 8

· IX = 10-1 = 9

· XL = 50-10 = 40

· XC = 100-10 = 90

· MCMLXXXIV = 1000+(1000-100)+50+30+(5-1) = 1984
