❓ Common questions
- Why is there no zero in Roman numerals?
- Roman numerals were developed for counting and commerce, where zero was not needed. The concept of zero as a number was introduced later from Indian mathematics.
- What is subtractive notation?
- Instead of writing IIII for 4, Romans wrote IV (one before five). The smaller numeral before a larger one means subtract. Only I, X, and C can be used subtractively.
- Why stop at 3999?
- Standard Roman numeral notation only supports up to 3999 (MMMCMXCIX) without special overline notation for larger values.
- Are lowercase Roman numerals valid?
- Lowercase roman numerals (i, v, x…) appear in outlines and page numbering. This converter uses uppercase, which is the standard form.
- What year is MMXXVI?
- MMXXVI = 2000 + 20 + 6 = 2026.
