<h3>Rule 1: Addition Method</h3>
11
<p>The<a>addition</a>method is used when the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, DCCCL → D + CCC + L → 500 + 300 + 50 = 850</p>

<h3>Rule 3: Subtraction Method</h3>
15
<p>If a small number is followed by a large number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the large number. For example, XL → L - X → 50 - 10 = 40.</p>
