What are the Basic Rules to Write Roman Numerals?

• When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: CI, C > I, so CI = C + I = 100 + 1 = 101
• When a smaller letter precedes a bigger letter, the letters are subtracted. For example: IX, I < X, so IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9
• When a letter is repeated 2 or 3 times, they get added. For example: XXX = X + X + X = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
• The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.
