  1. The correct Roman numeral for 4 is "IV", not "IIII."

    Why?
    Roman numerals use subtractive notation for numbers like 4 and 9.

    "IV" means 5 (V) minus 1 (I), which equals 4.

    "IIII" was sometimes used historically (especially on clock faces) for visual balance, but it’s not the standard or correct form.

    So, "IV" is the proper way to write 4 in Roman numerals.
