Rules to Write Roman Numbers (1 to 100)

To write numbers in Roman numerals from 1 to 100, remember:

1. The basic letters are: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100.

2. Smaller numbers before a bigger number are subtracted (e.g., IV = 4).

3. Smaller numbers after a bigger number are added (e.g., XVI = 16).

4. Do not use the same symbol more than three times in a row (e.g., 40 is XL, not XXXX).

5. V, L, and D are never repeated.

6. There is no zero or negative numbers in Roman numerals.

Following these simple rules helps avoid common errors in school tests and Maths Olympiad questions.
