The converter lets you go from arabic to roman


numerals and vice versa. Simply type in the number you
would like to convert in the field you would like to
convert from, and the number in the other format will
appear in the other field. Due to the limitations of the
roman number system you can only convert numbers
from 1 to 3999.

To easily convert between roman and arabic numerals


you can use the table above. The key is to handle one
arabic digit at a time, and translate it to the right roman
number, where zeroes become empty. Go ahead and
use the converter and observe how the table shows the
solution in realtime!

2017 = MMXVII = 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1
2018 = MMXVIII = 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1
2019 = MMXIX = 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10 − 1
2020 = MMXX = 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10
2021 = MMXXI = 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10 + 1

About Roman Numerals


Roman numerals originate, as the name suggests, from
the Ancient Roman empire. Unlike our position based
system with base 10, the roman system is based on
addition (and sometimes subtraction) of seven different
values. These are symbols used to represent these
values:

Symbol Value
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000

For example, to express the number 737 in roman


numerals you write DCCXXXVII, that is 500 + 100 + 100
+ 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1. However, for the numbers 4
and 9, subtraction is used instead of addition, and the
smaller number is written in front of the greater number:
e.g. 14 is written as XIV, i.e. 10 + 5 − 1, and 199 is
expressed as CXCIX i.e. 100 + 100 − 10 + 10 − 1. It
could be argued that 199 would be more easily written
as CIC, but according to the most common definition
you can only subtract a number that is one order of
magnitude smaller than the numbers you're subtracting
from, meaning that IC for 99 is incorrect.

Roman numerals are often used in numbered lists, on


buildings to state the year they were built, and in names
of regents, such as Louis XVI of France.
