Roman numerals include I for 1, C for 100, D for 500, X for 10, M for 1000, L for 50, and V for 5. S is not a Roman numeral for a whole number, although it is sometimes used to represent 1/2. Let's suppose you wish to write 402 in Roman numerals. To write 400, you write CD, since 400 is 100 less than 500 and CD means take 100 away from 500. I is equal to 1, so two Is would be equal to 2. Since I is less than D or C, it is written to the right of CD. Therefore, CDII is how you write 402 in Roman numerals.
