V, L and D (5, 50 and 500 respectively). Repetition and subtraction are redundant because VV would be X, LL would be C, DD would be M, VX would be V, LC would be L and DM would be D. Although you could theoretically subtract V from L to get VL=45, the accepted convention does not permit any subtraction of 5, 50 or 500. 45 would be more correctly formed with XLV.

What Roman numerals represented numbers using letters of the American alphabet?

1 = I 5 = V 10 = X 50 = L 100 = C 500 = D 1,000 = M For example, 1776 is MDCCLXXVI However, you are not allowed to have more than four of the same symbol in a row (except for on some clocks with IIII). But if a smaller symbol is in front of a larger symbol, than it is subtracted. IV = 4 IX = 9 (I can only be subtracted from V and X) XL = 40 XC = 90 (X can only be subtracted from L and C) CD = 400 CM = 900 (C can only be subtracted from D and M) So 1999 is M CM XC IX. Some people write MIM instead of MCMXCIX. This is incorrect because I can't be subtracted from M.
