Number to Roman Numerals
A Number to Roman Numerals tool is a handy utility that converts standard Arabic numbers (like 1, 2, 3) into their equivalent Roman numeral representations (I, II, III). Roman numerals use combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet (I, V, X, L, C, D, M) to represent numbers, and this tool automates the conversion process for convenience.

How It Works Number to Roman Numerals
The tool follows a set of rules to convert numbers into Roman numerals:
-
Basic Symbols:
-
I = 1
-
V = 5
-
X = 10
-
L = 50
-
C = 100
-
D = 500
-
M = 1000

-
Additive Rule:
-
If a smaller numeral follows a larger one, they are added (e.g., VI = 5 + 1 = 6).
-
-
Subtractive Rule:
-
If a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, it is subtracted (e.g., IV = 5 – 1 = 4).
