Well, here is a quick overview, so you don't have to write out all of them.

1 - I

5 - V

10 - X

50 - L

100 - C

500 - D

1000 - M

They go from highest to lowest when written, and they are added up as you go along, like 1776: MDCCLXXVI

Also, if you're on the verge of reaching a new letter, like the numbers 4, 9, 14, 19, 49, 99, 499, and 999, it will be written as such:

IV

IX

XIV

XIX

IL

IC

ID

IM

This method of putting an I in front of the next changing letter, derives from the written out form of a Latin number, being "undeviginti", meaning "one from twenty". There are more rules and exceptions, but that is a summary of why.

PLEASE RECOMMEND ME! :)
