Roman Numeral Values:
N = 0, I = 1, V = 5
X = 10, L = 50, C = 100
D = 500, M = 1,000.
Assign values to each letter in XIV
The next letter I has a lower value of 1
Assign a positive value to X
Add 10 to our sum of 0
10 + 0 = 10
The next letter V has a higher value of 5
Assign a negative value to I
Subtract 1 from our sum of 10
10 - 1 = 9
Since V is the last letter of our Roman numeral, we assign a positive value to V
Add 5 to our sum of 9
5 + 9 = 14
