Number to Roman Numerals

Introduction

Roman numerals used to be the standard numbering system in ancient times, mostly for counting among Romans. The Etruscan numerals system influenced the birth of Roman numerals. The alteration in the original system of numerals resulted in the numeral system that we use today, where letters denote values as numerals. The Number to Roman Numeral converter is designed to help you easily convert numbers to Roman numerals.

How are Roman numerals studied?

The additive notation of Roman numerals is I, II, III, IIII, V, VI, VII, VIII, VIIII, X. Although the additive notation is used in a few cases, Roman numerals are commonly demonstrated using subtractive notation. In subtractive notations, Roman Numerals read from left to right, meaning the largest number comes first, followed by smaller numbers. For instance, a person expresses 6 as 1 less than 7 [IIV] instead of adding 1 six times [IIII]. The same expression is used for 11 as being 1 less than 12.

Seven letters, I, V, X, L, C, D, and M, are used to denote the numbers 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000. These seven letters produce thousands of numbers. The table below is given as an example.
