It is actually very very simple. first of all you have just summarize 13 different alfabets and their meanings; I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000 _ = 1000 (USED TO DESCRIBE 1000) as how we generally use an alfabet "K" to represent 1000 or "mn" for a million or "bn" for billion. So If I have to say 1,000,000 I can write it as 1 mn or in roman way M (M= 1000 * _ = 1000 = 1,000,000) All alphabets representing small letters before a bigger letter in value (as written above) gets deducted. The numbers are read left to write (like english). for more information, please visit this link,, it is very useful. If you still have confusion, please let me know. http://www.legionxxiv.org/numerals/
