There are some notable issue about Roman number are given below –
Note.1) In the roman number system there is no ‘0’ (Zero)
Note.2) In the Roman number system Repetition of number means addition and same number or numeral may repeat maximum 3 (three) times, not more than that.
Example - III = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 , XXX= 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
Note.3) V , L , D can’t be repeated .
Note.4) Symbol with a smaller value if written before the symbol with a bigger/greater value, then we subtract the value of the first symbol from the value of the second symbol.
Example - IV = 5 – 1 = 4 , IX = 10 – 1 = 9.
Note.5) Symbol with a smaller value if written after the symbol with a bigger/greater value, then we add the value of the first symbol with the value of the second symbol.
Example - XI = 10 + 1 = 11 , VI = 5 +1 = 6 , XIV = 10 + (5 – 1) = 10 + 4 = 14 , XV = 10 + 5 = 15 , XIII = 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13
Note.6) For expressing number more than 10 (Ten), we need to split the number first in terms of tens and ones.
Example – 16 = 10 + 5 + 1 = XVI , XII = 10 + 1 + 1 = XII , 28 = 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = XXVIII
