Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and remained the usual way of writing numbers throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages. Numbers are expressed in Roman numerals using combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet. The Roman numeral system uses seven symbols, each with a fixed integer value. These symbols are I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1,000). To form a numeral, the symbols are combined and placed in order of value, starting with the largest. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as when a smaller numeral is placed before a larger numeral to indicate subtraction. For example, IV represents 4, and IX represents 9. CCXCIXCMXCVIII is a complex numeral that demonstrates the use of these rules. It is composed of the symbols CC (200), XC (90), IX (9), CM (900), XC (90), and VIII (8). When these symbols are combined and placed in order of value, they represent the number 299,998. The numeral CCXCIXCMXCVIII is a testament to the flexibility and complexity of the Roman numeral system.
