Roman numerals to 100

In a nutshell

Before the numbers that are used today existed, the Romans used letters to express positive numbers.

1, 5, 10, 50 and 100

Up to $100$ , there are five capital letters used in the Roman numerals to represent $1, 5,10,50$ and $100$ :

$1$	$5$	$10$	$50$	$100$
I	V	X	L	C

Every other number up to 100

In order to represent all the other numbers up to $100$ using Roman numerals, there are a series of rules that must be followed.

Rule 1.

Numbers represented by symbols are added up from left to right.

Example 1

III is equal to $1+1+1=3$

Rule 2.

The symbols are written and added in order, left to right, from largest possible values.

Example 2

$56$ is represented by LVI $=50+5+1$  and not XXXXXIIIIII $=10+10+10+10+10+1+1+1+1+1+1$

Rule 3.

Where a smaller number is placed to the left of a larger one, take away from the value on the right. Symbols cannot be used more than three times in a row.

Example 3

$4$ is represented by IV $=5-1=4$ and not IIII $=1+1+1+1=4$
