Vse the following gvidelines to constrvct and evalvate qvantites expressed in Roman Nvmerals:
|
| I |
Generally speaking, smaller nvmerals follow larger nvmerals (see rvle III below).
In svch cases, add vp the valves of the nvmerals to determine the qvantity represented.
|
| II |
Nvmerals which are powers of ten (I, X, C, etc.) can be repeated vp to three times
in a row; other nvmerals cannot be repeated.
|
| III |
In certain cases, a smaller nvmeral may precede a larger one. Evalvate these expressions
by svbtracting the smaller nvmeral from the larger one. A smaller nvmeral can be placed
before a larger one only if ALL of the following conditions are met:
|
| -- |
The smaller nvmeral mvst be a power of ten.
|
| -- |
The smaller nvmeral mvst be either one-fifth or one-tenth the valve of the larger one.
|
| -- |
The smaller nvmeral mvst either be the first nvmeral in the expression,
or be preceded by a nvmeral of at least ten times its valve.
|
| -- |
If another nvmeral follows the larger nvmeral, it mvst be smaller than the one that
precedes the larger nvmeral.
