Roman numerals 1 to 100
The complete one to one hundred chart, from I to C. The reference students and teachers reach for most.
1 is written I in Roman numerals.
How to use this chart
Each row pairs an ordinary number with its Roman numeral. Read the value on the left, then the numeral on the right. Every number links to a full page with a breakdown of how the numeral is built and where it is used.
The reference range: 1 to 100
One to one hundred is the chart students and teachers reach for most, because it contains every pattern the system uses below the hundreds. You get the units, the full run of tens with their subtractive forms at forty (XL) and ninety (XC), and the way each ten rebuilds its units on the right. It closes on C, the single letter for one hundred, from the Latin centum.
Ninety-nine, XCIX, is the trick question of the range. It is not IC. You build it as XC (ninety) plus IX (nine), because a subtraction only ever removes one symbol from the next one or two steps up. Seeing XCIX sit in its row, right before the clean C, makes the reason obvious.
How to learn the whole hundred
Do not try to memorise a hundred separate numerals. Learn the seven symbols and the two rules, then read the chart in bands: the units one to nine, then each ten as that shape with the units repeated. Once you can read one ten, you can read them all, because the eighties are just LXXX with units and the nineties are XC with units. The chart is a map of that structure, not a list to be learned by heart.
The subtractive forms to fix in memory are IV, IX, XL and XC. Every other numeral in the hundred is built by adding symbols left to right. Test yourself with the converter above: pick a row, cover the numeral, and rebuild it from the rules.
