MMMMCMLXXXVII+-+MMMCLXII+=+MDCCCXXV
first you need to know that:
M=1000
D=500
C=100
L=50
X=10
V=5
I=1
then you need to know if you have CM means 1000-100=900
or if you have XV means 50-10=40, or if you have IX means 10-1=9, or if you have CLXII means 100%2B50%2B10%2B2=162, or DCCC means 500%2B100%2B100%2B100=800
so, your number is:4987+-+3162+=+1825
