Converting Roman Numerals to Korean Numbers

Roman numerals are a numeric system originating in ancient Rome, using combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet (I, V, X, L, C, D, M) to represent values. Converting these numerals to Korean numbers involves understanding both the Roman numeral system and the structure of Korean numeric expressions.

Korean uses a dual numbering system: native Korean numbers and Sino-Korean numbers. For example, the numbers one to five could be expressed as 하나 (hana), 둘 (dul), 셋 (set), 넷 (net), and 다섯 (daseot) in the native Korean system, while the Sino-Korean equivalents would be 일 (il), 이 (i), 삼 (sam), 사 (sa), and 오 (o).
