roman numeral

罗马数字

Refers to the ancient Roman way of writing numbers. Likely because of the elegant style, it is still usually recognized and understood by everyday people (at least from 1 to 10), as well as frequently used on clocks.

  • 1 = I
  • 2 = II
  • 3 = III
  • 4 = IV (one below 5)
  • 5 = V
  • 6 = VI (one above 5)
  • 7 = VII (two above 5)
  • 8 = VIII
  • 9 = IX
  • 10 = X (can be remembered by how 2 V's form an X; 5*2=10)
  • 11 = XI
  • 12 = XII
  • 50 = L
  • 100 = C
  • 500 = D
