We use symbols to represent numbers, such as I, V, X, L, C, D, and M to write Roman Numerals. To write LIII in Roman numerals, we follow a few basic rules. Let's learn how these symbols come together to form numbers.

Rule 1: Addition Method


When a Roman numeral is arranged in descending order, from largest to smallest or equal, the values are added. For Example: 
LIII = “L” equals 50, and “III” equals 1+1+1.
50 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 53.

Rule 2: Repetition Method


In Roman numerals, we can repeat a symbol to make a bigger number. But only up to three times and not more than that. For example: LIII, where I is repeated three times, making it 1+1+1 =3.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method


In this method, if a smaller number comes before the larger numeral, we subtract the smaller numeral from the larger one. This rule helps to avoid writing the same number again and again. We apply this rule for specific pairs of numbers like IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, and CM. For example: IV = 5–1 = 4.

Rule 4: Limitation Rule


The limitation rule in Roman numerals means that we cannot repeat a numeral more than three times in a row. For Example: In LIII, L is 50, and  “I” is repeated three times, we cannot repeat it more than three times.
