The first numbers are easy:
I
II
III
1,2,3

5= V
10 = X
50 = L
100 = C
500 = D
1000 = M

The numbers are counted.

We are now at CXLVII
which is C+(X-L)+V+I+I
If the letter is smaller than the next one, you subtract it. Especially in large numbers, it can be hard.

MCMXCIV stands for 1994

Remember the numbers from above:
1000 (M)-----------------1000
C-M (100-1000)---------+900
X-C (10-100)-------------+90
I-V (1-5)------------------+4
=1994

@MailicedeNamedy, do you mind if I quote and link to your last post in the first post of this thread? I think it's a really helpful guide for how Roman numerals work. :)
