Examples
The number n = 1 is written "I" in the Roman number system. "I" being the ninth letter in the alphabet is also the ninth number in the alphabetic number system. Therefore a(1) = 9. The number n = 2 is written "II" in the Roman number system. "II" is also the 243rd number in the alphabetic number system, because "I" is the ninth letter in the 26-letter alphabet and 9*26^1+9*26^0 = 243. Therefore a(2) = 243. The number n = 3 is written "III" in the Roman number system. "III" is also the 6327th number in the alphabetic number system because "I" is the ninth letter in the 26-letter alphabet and 9*26^2+9*26^1+9*26^0 = 6327. Therefore a(3) = 6327. The number n = 4 is written "IV" in the Roman number system. "IV" is also the 256th number in the alphabetic number system because "I" is the ninth letter in the 26-letter alphabet and "V" is the 22nd letter, therefore a(4) = 9*26^1 + 22 = 256. The number n = 600 is written "DC" in the Roman number system. "DC" is also the 107th number in the alphabetic number system, because "D" and "C" are the fourth and third letters in the 26-letter alphabet and 4*26^1+3*26^0 = 107. Therefore a(600) = 107.
