How do you make Roman numerals?

Tip 1.
  Most people get confused on IV (4). It’s not that hard to understand it. Let me explain. Since V is 5 and I is 1 it’s just like 1-5 but with with no takeaway symbol. And 1-5=4 and that’s how you get your answer.

Tip 2.
We can do the same things with other Roman numerals like... 
IX 10-1=9 
XL 50-10=40 
XLIX 50-10+9=49
XCIX 100-10+9=99
XD 500-10=490
CDXCIX 500-10+9=499
CMXC 10-1000=990
CMXCIX 10-1000+9=999
And those are the tricky ones.
