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:

$M (1000) + X L (40) + V (5) + I (1) + I (1) + I (1)$

2. Sum values

Now add the values:
$1000 + 40 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1$ = $1, 048$ .

So $M X L V I I I$ equals $1, 048$ .
