Roman numerals represent different numbers depending on the relation of their position to each other. For example, the numeral V represents the number 5. If you then place a I (which represents 1) after it - VI - this represents 6, that is 1 (I) after 5 (V). However, placed before it - IV - it represents 4, i.e. 1 (I) before 5 (V).

Therefore we look at the numeral MCMXIII. M represents 1000, C represents 100, X represents 10 and as already discussed I represents 1.

Therefore we have 1000, we have 100 before 1000 = 900, we have 10, and we have 1 after 10 but 3 of them = 3. This then represents 1913.
