How the Roman Numeral Converter works
Type a number to get its Roman numeral, or a Roman numeral to get the number — the direction is detected automatically. Numerals are written in the standard form: symbols from largest to smallest, with six subtractive pairs (IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM) and no symbol repeated more than three times.
Non-standard numerals like IIII are flagged, with the standard way to write the number you probably meant.
Roman numeral symbols
I = 1 · V = 5 · X = 10 · L = 50 · C = 100 · D = 500 · M = 1,000. Subtractive pairs: IV = 4, IX = 9, XL = 40, XC = 90, CD = 400, CM = 900.
Formula
add each symbol; subtract it when a larger symbol follows
MCMXCIV = 1000 + (1000 − 100) + (100 − 10) + (5 − 1) = 1994.
Examples
MCMXCIV
1994.
The largest standard numeral
MMMCMXCIX = 3,999.
Frequently asked questions
Why does it stop at 3,999?
The standard symbols end at M (1,000), and a symbol can repeat only three times. Larger numbers used a bar over a numeral to multiply it by 1,000, which isn't standard today.
Is IIII wrong on clock faces?
Many clocks use IIII for 4 by tradition, but the standard form is IV. The converter points this out and accepts only the standard form.
Is there a Roman numeral for zero?
No. The Romans had no numeral for zero, so the converter starts at 1.
