unus triginta quadraginta quinquaginta sexaginta septuaginta octoginta nonaginta centum mille Latin numerals Latin or Roman numerals work by repeating and combining the following digits: I, V, X, L and C. When a digit is repeated more than once, it is added. So II is 1+1 and III 1+1+1 A smaller digit is added to a larger digit when it occurs before the larger, so VIII is 5+1+1+1. However, where a smaller digit occurs after a larger digit it is subtracted, so IX is 10 - 1. So, for example 28 could be XXVIII 10+10+5+1+1+1 or XX1X 10+10+10-1. There are a few further rules but the above cover the majority of situations.
