Roman Numerals

Today I learned some Roman Numerals.  One is;  I, two is;  II, three is;  III, four is;  IV, five is;  V, and so on.  In four it has the Numerals 5 and 1.  WHY?  Because the first Numeral tot he left of the Numeral farthest right, gets subtracted.  So, 5-1= 4.  Every Numeral to the right of the Numeral is added.
