How numerals are built
Every number is written by combining thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, from the largest to the smallest.
| Value | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ones | I | II | III | IV | V | VI | VII | VIII | IX |
| Tens | X | XX | XXX | XL | L | LX | LXX | LXXX | XC |
| Hundreds | C | CC | CCC | CD | D | DC | DCC | DCCC | CM |
| Thousands | M | MM | MMM |
Example: 1,994 = M (1,000) + CM (900) + XC (90) + IV (4) = MCMXCIV.
