1984 is the current numeral value of the roman number MCMLXXXIV.

Symbol meaning:
M ... 1000
C ... 100
L ... 50
X ... 10
V ... 5

I ... 1
How to calculate:The symbols then are written in descending order and added sequentially (e.g. MM would be 1000 + 1000 = 2000).
If there is a smaller value in front of a larger value, then it is a subtraction. The smaller value will be subtracted from the larger one (e.g. CM: the C for 100 is smaller then the M for 1000, which makes it 1000-100 =1900; MC would be 1000+100=1100).

How to calculate MCMLXXXIV:Use the subtractions as separators. As long as there is no smaller value in front of a larger value you can just add them. When there is the subtraction case, take the two values, calculate them and then use the result to proceed with the addition:

M .................................. 1000
CM ..... 1000-100 = ........ 900
LXXX ... 50+10+10+10 =.. 80
IV ........ 5-1 = .................... 4 = 1984
