Background Info • Arabic Numerals are the numbers that we use today. • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 • Roman Numerals are used today, but not in everyday writing. • I, V, X, L, C, D, M • Roman Numerals does not have a symbol for zero.
The Basics I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000 • The mnemonic 'I Value Xylophones Like Cows Do Milk' may really help you.
All numerals can be written by combining these symbols that the Romans used.
Adding Roman Numerals • In order to represent larger numbers the Romans simply 'added' the symbols together. • e.g. LXXXIII = 50 + 10 + 10 +10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 83 • Hints: • When writing roman numerals never use more than 3 of any symbol. • When you have numerals on the right hand side of bigger ones, ADD.
Subtracting Roman Numerals • To represent some numbers you need to subtract the value of the smaller number from the larger. • e.g. XL = 50 - 10 = 40 • Hint: • When smaller numerals are on the left of larger ones, subtract.
