Rules for Roman Numerals

Repetition: A symbol can be repeated up to three times to add values. For example, III = 3, XXX = 30, CCC = 300.
Subtraction: A smaller symbol before a larger one means subtraction. For example, IV = 4 (5 - 1), IX = 9 (10 - 1), XL = 40 (50 - 10).
Addition: A smaller symbol after a larger one means addition. For example, VI = 6 (5 + 1), XI = 11 (10 + 1).
Subtraction rules: Only I, X, and C can be used for subtraction. I can precede V and X. X can precede L and C. C can precede D and M.
No zero: Roman numerals have no symbol for zero. The number zero was not represented in the Roman system.

Common Uses Today

Roman numerals are still used in modern times for clock faces, book chapter numbers, film copyright dates, monarch and pope names (e.g., Queen Elizabeth II), Super Bowl numbering, and formal outlines.
