Roman Numerals 1-100 (1 to 100)

Roman numerals 1 to 100 run from I to C, with the key milestones X (10), L (50) and C (100) and subtractive pairs XL (40) and XC (90). This reference lists the tens and the pattern within each ten, plus a converter for any number to 3999 — computed in your browser. For example 42 is XLII (XL = 40, II = 2) and 99 is XCIX (XC = 90, IX = 9).
