What are the Basic Rules to Write Roman Numerals?

• When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: MC, M > C, so MC = M + C = 1000 + 100 = 1100

• When a letter is repeated 2 or 3 times, they get added. For example: III = I + I + I = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
• The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.
