Frequently asked questions
How do Roman numerals work?
Roman numerals combine seven symbols: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500) and M (1000). A smaller symbol before a larger one subtracts (IV = 4); after it, it adds (VI = 6).
What is 2026 in Roman numerals?
2026 is MMXXVI: MM (2000) + XX (20) + VI (6).
Why is there no Roman numeral for zero?
The Roman number system had no symbol for zero — it was developed for counting and trade, not for positional arithmetic.
