No such Roman Numeral as 'cm xiv'.

Roman Numerals are ALWAYS written in CAPITAL letters, and the above is correctly written as 'CMXIV'. NO spaces.

NB When a smaller value letter is placed to the left of a higher value letter, it means subtract.

Hence

CM moiety .

'C' equals 100 and is less than 'M' , which equals 1000. This means subtract the smaller value from the larger value.

Hence

CM means ; -100 + 1000 = 900

Similarly

IV means ; -1+ 5 = 4

#Collecting all the symbols together.

CMXIV = (CM)+X+(IV) = 900 + 10 + 4 = 914

NNB THe highest value letters ALWAYS go to the left, except when subtracting.

M = 1000 ' (M means 'millum)

D = 500

C = 100 '(C means 'centum'_

L = 50

X = 10

V = 5

I = 1

Is the full table of Roman Numerals.
