MMXXVI: M (1000) + M (1000) + XX (20) + VI (6).

Why stop at 3999?

Why is the limit 3999?

No, the Romans had no symbol for zero.

Our tips

  • 💡 I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000.
  • 💡 A smaller symbol before a larger one is subtracted: IV = 4, IX = 9, XL = 40.
  • 💡 No symbol repeats more than three times: 4 is IV, not IIII.
