FAQ

How do I convert a number to a Roman numeral?

Break the number into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, and write each part with the symbols M, D, C, L, X, V, I. 1994 is M (1000) + CM (900) + XC (90) + IV (4) = MCMXCIV.

What is the largest number I can write?

This tool covers 1 to 3999 (MMMCMXCIX). Standard Roman numerals have no zero and no symbol above M; larger values were written with an overline, which plain text cannot show.

Why is my Roman numeral rejected as invalid?

Only the standard subtractive forms are accepted: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM. Forms such as IIII, VX or IC are not canonical, so the tool refuses them instead of guessing a value.
