<p>In ancient times, people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. As life became more complex, a<a>standard form</a>was required to count. Ancient Romans developed the Roman numeral system for counting. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols used for counting. In Roman numerals, we use DXXI to represent 521. Here, D is 500, X is 10, and I is 1.</p>
