Guiding principles
Select the help button on the upper right corner of the screen to learn more about Roman numerals work.
Roman numbers rely on letters to express numerical value:
1: I
5: V
10: X
50: L
100: C
500: D
1,000: M
Large Roman numbers are expressed by combining numerals together.
Roman numerals are usually arranged with the biggest values to the left.
In most cases, Roman numbers use as few numerals as possible.
To increase value, add another numeral to the right up to 3 times.
e.g. 8 = VIII (5 + 1 + 1 + 1)
The exceptions to adding at the end are for 9 and 4 and their multiples of 10. On these numbers you create the next larger number and then subtract downward. These numbers are formed by placing a lower number you subtract to the left of the larger number.
e.g. 9 = IX (10 – 1)
This process can be used for more complex numbers with multiple 4 or 9 characters in it.
