1=I
1,000=M
51=LI
6=VI
500=D
Had to think about it because I haven’t used Roman Numerals in years.
Thank God you didn’t ask about furlongs, rods or chains. I have trouble keeping those straight.
Just to satisfy my curiosity, I looked it up:
1 mile = 8 furlongs
1 furlong = 10 chains
1 chain = 4 rods
1 rod = 16.5 feet
Hence, there are 320 rods in a mile.

Alright, I’m stealing the hell out of that one, if only as a handy-dandy reference guide to Roman numerals.
