How It Works

The converter works through the values from largest to smallest, repeatedly subtracting the biggest symbol that still fits and appending its letters until the number reaches zero. It includes the subtractive pairs — like IV for 4 and CM for 900 — so the output follows standard notation rather than writing IIII. Because classic Roman numerals have no symbol for zero and no standard form above 3,999, the tool accepts whole numbers in the 1 to 3,999 range.

Formula

I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000

How do Roman numerals work?

Roman numerals combine seven letters. Symbols are added when a larger or equal value precedes a smaller one (VI=6), and subtracted when a smaller precedes a larger (IV=4).
