What are the Basic Rules to Write Roman Numerals?

• When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: MI, M > I, so MI = M + I = 1000 + 1 = 1001

• When a letter is repeated 2 or 3 times, they get added. For example: XX = X + X = 10 + 10 = 20
• The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.
