roman numeral

Roman Numerals are symbols ancient Romans used to represent numerical values. Similar to how "1" represents the concept of the one/the first number/singularity the symbol "I" represents the same. Roman numerals tend to follow a system where any given symbol can only be used up to a maximum 4 times when representing a specific number and each symbol represents a numerical unit. Depicting that unit multiple times represents higher values.

Thousands Hundreds Tens Unit
1 M C X I
2 MM CC XX II
3 MMM CCC XXX III
4 CD XL IV
5 D L V
6 DC LX VI
7 DCC LXX VII
8 DCCC LXXX VIII
9 CM XC IX

The largest number that can be represented in this manner is 3,999 which would be represented as MMMCMXCIX.
