What is roman numerals? Roman numerals is the letters used by the Romans for the representation of cardinal numbers. Roman numerals consists of several basic symbol that can written in sequence. But, roman numerals only allow maximum three same symbols to be written together. Whenever the same symbol is written four times, it is replaced by subtracting it from the next higher number (for example 5,50,50,500). That way, IV is written instead of IIII (4), XL instead of XXXX (40), etc. And usually only one number is subtracted, not two. So 8 is always VIII and never IIX.
