How To Read Roman Numerals?
Roman numerals are read from left to right.
The symbols for the Roman Numerals are:
I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1,000.
Some special numerals are:
IV = 4, IX = 9, XL = 40, XC = 90, CD = 400, CM = 900.

Rules for Roman Numerals

1. Additive Rule:
   If a smaller numeral follows a larger one, add them.
   Example:
   VI = 5 + 1 = 6
   XV = 10 + 5 = 15
   
2. Subtractive Rule:
   If a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, subtract it.
   This rule has specific limitations:
   I can only precede V (4) and X (9).
   X can only precede L (40) and C (90).
   C can only precede D (400) and M (900).
   V, L, and D are never subtracted.
   Example:
   IV = 5 − 1 = 4
   IX = 10 − 1 = 9
   
3. Symbol Repetition:
   I, X, C, M can repeat up to 3 times.
   Example: III = 3, XXX = 30
   The subtractive principle should be used for values like 4 (IV) and 9 (IX) instead of IIII and VIIII.
   V, L, D cannot repeat.
   
4. Larger Numbers:
   A bar over a numeral multiplies it by 1,000.
