Actually 4 would yes, be IV, but IIII is commonly used on clock faces. The I (=1) can only be written in a group of 3, then would be 5 = V. As in between 5-10 there are no other numerals either, only combinations. (I=1, V=5, X=10... etc.)
I=1, II-2, III=3, IV=4, V=5, VI=6, VII=7, VIII=8, IX=9, X=10... and so on.
4 - IV
IV:Where V is 5 and I is 1. By putting the I before the V this means that it needs to be substracted from the V which makes 4. If you put the I after the V you need to add them up, so VI is 6.
IIII or IV they both correct versions of 4 in Roman numerals.
