How it works

Roman numerals use the letters I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500) and M (1000). Letters are added from largest to smallest, except that a smaller letter before a larger one is subtracted, as in IV (4) and IX (9). Standard numerals cover 1 to 3,999.

Example

2026 is MMXXVI: MM (2000) + XX (20) + VI (6).
