Arithmetic results must be whole
numbers from 1 to 3999 to be shown
as standard Roman numerals.
How Roman numerals work
Roman numerals use combinations of seven
symbols:
I, V, X, L, C, D and M.
Normally values are written from largest
to smallest and added together. For
example,
VIII = 8.
In certain combinations a smaller numeral
before a larger numeral is subtracted.
For example,
IV = 4,
IX = 9 and
XL = 40.
This calculator uses the conventional
modern Roman numeral notation for whole
numbers from
1 to 3999.
Historical Roman numeral usage was not
always completely standardised.
This calculator uses the modern
conventional forms commonly used
today.
