Introduction Roman numerals are numerals used in ancient Rome. The
Roman numerals we use now are based on seven symbols. The seven symbols are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. I means one, V means five, X means 10, L means 50, C means 100, D means 500, and M means 1,000. The numbers are formed by combining
symbols. The order is from largest to smallest. For example,
sixteen would be XVI. Also, there is no zero in the system. The symbols are placed from left to right in the order of value.
Roman Numerals in modern times are based on those seven symbols.
Introduction Also, these are some
specific systems. Using the seven symbols, you can
make numbers. The Biggest number you can make only This chart of Roman Numerals shows the Roman Numerals and its Arabic Numerals of the same value.
with one is three. Which is III. Also, four becomes IV not
IIII. IV means five subtracted by one because the system is that if there is a smaller
number before, it becomes subtracted by the bigger
one. You can write only three Is in the system. These are
the systems used in Roman Numerals.
History of Roman Numerals One theory is about fingers. One or I represents one finger, V represents five
fingers, ten, or X represents
ten fingers crossed. But this
theory doesn’t include C and M or 50 and 100. So another theory is that it originated
from Latin. They are initial
letters of centum and mille.
These two theories are the
major theories, but there are
so many theories because the history is not clear.
Adding and Subtracting Roman Numerals DID YOU KNOW?! Students in Ancient Rome was smart enough to add Roman Numerals in five minutes or less.
Roman numerals are numerals used in Ancient Rome. The Roman numerals we use now is based on seven symbols. The seven symbols are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. I means one, V means five, X means 10, L means 50, C means 100, D means 500, and M means 1,000. The numbers are formed by combining symbols. The order is from largest to smallest. For example, two would be II. Also, there is no zero in the system. The symbols are placed from left to right in order of value. The order in combining is largest to smallest. So for example if you want to write 207, it would be CCVII. Roman Numerals in modern times are based on seven symbols.
Adding and Subtracting Roman Numerals 

DID YOU KNOW? ADDING ROMAN NUMERALS REQUIRES LOTS OF IQ AND EQ.
This is the method for adding and
subtracting Roman Numerals. The same thing 116 + 24 will turn into CXVI + XXIIII. First, you put all the numerals together into one long number. Then, you put the numeral in order from highest to lowest, and combine the smaller
numerals to the biggest starting from
the smallest. Use subtractive notation
to simplify whatever you can. Now you can see why people use more Arabic Numerals.
Charts
This chart is a chart that has both
Arabic and Roman Numerals. Arabic Numerals are Numerals we use, and
Roman Numerals are numbers used in
ancient Rome. Look at this chart to know about them.
Charts Do you see the letters Romans used? Even
though they say it is
Numerals, it is actually Believe or Not! The first Roman Numerals were letters like I, Λ, X, ⋔,
8, ⊕, for I, V, X, L, C, and M! The Roman Numerals used in modern time is a involved version of Roman Numerals.
letters written for
numbers. These are still used today on movie
titles, series books, and all sorts of other stuff. Roman numerals are actually letters not numbers.
Glossary Ancient Rome :Ancient Rome was an Italic civilization that began on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 8th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea and centered on the city of Rome, it expanded to become one of the largest empires in the ancient world with an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants (roughly 20% of the world's population) and covering 6.5 million square kilometers (2.5 million sq mi) during its height between the first and second centuries AD.
Arabic Numerals : Numbers we use normally. The symbols are from 0 to 9 For Example : 1,232. symbol : a thing that represents or stands for something else value : the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something: your support is of great value. • the material or monetary worth of something: prints seldom rise in value | equipment is included up to a total value of $500. • the worth of something compared to the price paid or asked for it: at $12.50 the book is a good value .
