Rules to Write Roman Numerals 1 to 200

1. Basic Symbols:
   • I = 1
   • V = 5
   • X = 10
   • L = 50
   • C = 100
   • D = 500
   • M = 1000
2. Repeating Symbols:
   • A symbol can be repeated up to three times to add values. For example:
     • III = 3 (I + I + I)
     • XXX = 30 (X + X + X)
     • CCC = 300 (C + C + C)
3. Subtractive Notation:
   • Place a smaller numeral before a larger numeral to subtract its value. For example:
     • IV = 4 (5 – 1)
     • IX = 9 (10 – 1)
     • XL = 40 (50 – 10)
     • XC = 90 (100 – 10)
4. Additive Notation:
   • Place a smaller numeral after a larger numeral to add its value. For example:
     • VI = 6 (5 + 1)
     • XI = 11 (10 + 1)
     • LX = 60 (50 + 10)
     • CL = 150 (100 + 50)

Solved Problems

1. Convert 27 to Roman Numerals:
   • 20 + 7 = XX + VII = XXVII
2. Convert 48 to Roman Numerals:
   • 40 + 8 = XL + VIII = XLVIII
3. Convert 93 to Roman Numerals:
   • 90 + 3 = XC + III = XCIII
4. Convert 156 to Roman Numerals:
   • 100 + 50 + 6 = C + L + VI = CLVI
5. Convert 198 to Roman Numerals:
   • 100 + 90 + 8 = C + XC + VIII = CXCVIII
6. Convert 74 to Roman Numerals:
   • 70 + 4 = LXX + IV = LXXIV

Writing Roman numerals from 1 to 200 involves using combinations like I, V, X, L, C, and their additive and subtractive forms, with each numeral signifying a specific value. From I (1) to C (100), and beyond to 200, the system maintains a consistent structure where values either add or subtract based on placement and repetition, ensuring clarity and readability in numeration across various contexts and historical periods.
