Other Ways to Solve

Roman numeral to integer

Step-by-step explanation

1. Expand symbols

Read left to right.
If a smaller symbol comes before a larger one, treat them as one subtractive pair (for example, IX = 9).
Otherwise, each symbol stands alone.

For this input we get:

M(1000)+CM(900)+L(50)+X(10)+X(10)+X(10)+I(1)+I(1)+I(1)

2. Sum values

Now add the values:
1000+900+50+10+10+10+1+1+1 = 1,983.

So MCMLXXXIII equals 1,983.
