What are the Basic Rules to Write Roman Numerals?

• When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: DL, D > L, so DL = D + L = 500 + 50 = 550
• When a smaller letter precedes a bigger letter, the letters are subtracted. For example: XC, X < C, so XC = C - X = 100 - 10 = 90
• When a letter is repeated 2 or 3 times, they get added. For example: CCC = C + C + C = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300
• The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.
