These are called Roman Numerals. Roman Numerals are nothing but English alphabets except j, u, and w. There are seven Roman numerals. Roman Numerals are I, V, X, C, L, D, and M. Bar on the Roman letters means its value is multiplied by 1000 times.

Convert the roman numeral XXXVII to Number?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this example, Highest Roman Numeral is X. Roman Numeral X appeared three times. The value of X multiplied by three times. So the decimal number (X) has 30. The Second highest decimal number is V and its value is 5 and it is added to the decimal number. I is appearing two times and its value is 1 and it is added to a decimal number(X). Therefore, the given roman number XXXVII converted to numbers is 37.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Iteration<\/th>\n<th>Highest Roman Numeral(n)<\/th>\n<th>Highest Decimal value(v)<\/th>\n<th>Decimal Number(X)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>I<\/td>\n<td>X<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>X<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>X<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>V<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>35<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>I<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>36<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>I<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>2. Convert Roman Numeral MMXXI to Number?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this example, Highest Roman Numeral is M. Roman Numeral M appeared two times. The value of M multiplied by two times.so the decimal number X has 2000. Second, the highest decimal number is X and its value is 10 and it appeared two times. Its value is added to the decimal number. Now decimal number(X) has 2020. I appear one-time. Its value is 1 and it is added to the decimal number. Thus given number MMXXI converted to Numbers is 2021.<\/p>\n<table style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Iteration<\/th>\n<th>Highest Roman Numeral(n)<\/th>\n<th>Highest Decimal Value(v)<\/th>\n<th>Decimal Number(X)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>I<\/td>\n<td>M<\/td>\n<td>1000<\/td>\n<td>1000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>M<\/td>\n<td>1000<\/td>\n<td>2000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>X<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>2010<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>X<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>2020<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>I<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>2021<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>3.
