IV - except on clock faces where it is IIII as IV being almost upside-down could be confused with 6 - VI also upside down. look at the clockface on the Palace of Westminster ("Big Ben" - although that name refers to the bell and not the clock) and you'll see what I mean.

The Roman numeral for 4 is IV.

I = 1 One
V = 5 Five
X = 10 Ten
L = 50 Fifty
C = 100 One-hundred
D = 500 Five-hundred
M = 1000 One-thousand

Therfore if you put the I (one) in front of the V (five) you get IV = 4

they are the two ideal. The IV is the common for cutting-edge situations, however the classic Romans used the two. I truthfully have considered the IIII utilized in inscriptions in Rome, in the tombs under St Peter's Basilica and someplace else. you will additionally see it as VIIII somewhat of IX and additionally DCCCC somewhat of CM in places. I had not heard this earlier, yet in accordance to wikipedia: The notation of Roman numerals has multiple by the centuries. initially, it grew to become into worry-loose to apply IIII to symbolize 4, as a results of fact IV represented the Roman god Jupiter, whose Latin call, IVPPITER, starts with IV.

The answer is: IV

This is essentialy five minus one, where five is V and I is one. This is how the Romans wrote their numbers. They used the basics:

I = one
V = five
X = 10
C = 100
M = 1000

to write a number you combine these by placing any smaller numbers in front of larger ones to take away and make the number less.
