Roman numerals can seem confusing at first glance. But this ancient number system is simple to master with some practice.
In this guide, you’ll get a complete list of Roman numerals from 1 to 100 with tips on how to convert between Roman and Arabic numbers.
Roman Numeral Basics
The Roman numeral system uses letters to represent numbers:
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
Numbers are formed by combining these letters. For example, XV is 15 (10 + 5) and CL is 150 (100 + 50).
Generally, you add the values of letters to get the number. But there are two subtraction rules:
- If a smaller value precedes a larger one, you subtract the smaller from the larger. For example, IV is 4, not 6 (5 – 1).
- Letters can only be subtracted once. For example, XC is 90 (100 – 10), not 80.

Roman to Arabic Number Conversion
To convert Roman numerals to regular Arabic numbers:
- Break the Roman numeral down into its component parts
- Add up the values of each part based on the Roman numeral rules
For example, LXVI is 66:
L = 50
X = 10
V = 5
I = 1
50 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 66
Converting from Arabic to Roman is a bit more complex, but there are converters that can help if you need to go that direction.
