The system of Roman numerals is a numeral system originating in ancient Rome, and was adapted from Etruscan numerals. The system used in classical antiquity was slightly modified in the Middle Ages to produce the system we use today. It is based on certain letters which are given values as numerals.

Roman numerals are commonly used today in numbered lists (in outline format), clockfaces, pages preceding the main body of a book, chord triads in music analysis, the numbering of movie sequels, the production date at the end of movie credits, and the numbering of some sport events, such as the Olympic Games or the Super Bowls.

For arithmetics involving Roman numerals, see Roman arithmetic and Roman abacus.
Symbols

Roman numerals use a basic set of seven symbols:

* I or i for one,
* V or v for five,
* X or x for ten,
* L or l for fifty,
* C or c for one hundred (centum),
* D or d for five hundred,
* M or m for one thousand (mille).

For the numbers not assigned a specific symbol, the above given symbols are combined:

* II or ii for two,
* III or iii for three,
* IV, iv, IIII or iiii for four,
* VI or vi for six,
* VII or vii for seven,
* VIII or viii for eight,
* IX or ix for nine.

For very large numbers (five thousand and above), a bar is placed above a base numeral to indicate multiplication by 1000:

* V for five thousand
* X for ten thousand
* L for fifty thousand
* C for one hundred thousand
* D for five hundred thousand
* M for one million

3419 = MMMCDXIX
109,876,543,210 =MIX(each with three bars above) followed by DCCCLXXVI(each with two bars above) followed by DXLIII (each with one bar above) followed by CCX.

"I The easiest way to note down a number is to make that many marks - little I's. Thus I means 1, II means 2, III means 3. However, four strokes seemed like too many....
V So the Romans moved on to the symbol for 5 - V. Placing I in front of the V — or placing any smaller number in front of any larger number — indicates subtraction. So IV means 4. After V comes a series of additions - VI means 6, VII means 7, VIII means 8.
X X means 10. But wait — what about 9? Same deal. IX means to subtract I from X, leaving 9. Numbers in the teens, twenties and thirties follow the same form as the first set, only with X's indicating the number of tens. So XXXI is 31, and XXIV is 24.
L L means 50. Based on what you've learned, I bet you can figure out what 40 is. If you guessed XL, you're right = 10 subtracted from 50. And thus 60, 70, and 80 are LX, LXX and LXXX.
C C stands for centum, the Latin word for 100. A centurion led 100 men. We still use this in words like "century" and "cent." The subtraction rule means 90 is written as XC. Like the X's and L's, the C's are tacked on to the beginning of numbers to indicate how many hundreds there are: CCCLXIX is 369.
D D stands for 500. As you can probably guess by this time, CD means 400. So CDXLVIII is 448. (See why we switched systems?)
M M is 1,000. You see a lot of Ms because Roman numerals are used a lot to indicate dates. For instance, this page was written in the year of Nova Roma's founding, 1998 CE (Common Era; Christians use AD for Anno Domini, "year of our Lord"). That year is written as MCMXCVIII. But wait! Nova Roma counts years from the founding of Rome, ab urbe condita. By that reckoning Nova Roma was founded in 2751 a.u.c. or MMDCCLI.

V

Larger numbers were indicated by putting a horizontal line over them, which meant to multiply the number by 1,000. Hence the V at left has a line over the top, which means 5,000. This usage is no longer current, because the largest numbers usually expressed in the Roman system are dates, as discussed above."

look into a clock dial for further info. I = one V = 5 X = ten L = fifty C= a hundred D= M= 1000 (you notice this in action picture copyrights and development dates) upload the numbers from left to proper. yet whilst a smaller form is to the left of a better SUBTRACT. III = a million + a million + =3 IV means subtract a million for 5 provided that I < V. MM= 1000 + 1000 IX = 9 seventy 4 = LIV = fifty +(5 - one) 364 = CCCLXIV a hundred+a hundred+a hundred+50+10+(5-a million) MMMCCXXIV

Sounds like a homework problem to me. Now, if I was to give you the answers, how exactly would that help you learn it??? There are websites you can find, which have math tutorials.
