About This Tool

The Roman Numeral Converter is a free online tool that allows you to instantly convert between decimal numbers and Roman numerals. This bidirectional converter works in real-time, providing results as you type.

Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and remained the usual way of writing numbers throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages. They are still used today in various contexts such as clock faces, book chapters, movie credits, and monument inscriptions.

This tool supports numbers in the extended range of 1 to 3,999,999,999 using vinculum notation (overlines) to represent multiplication by 1,000. For very large numbers, we use double vinculum notation to represent multiplication by 1,000,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum number this tool can convert?

This tool can convert numbers from 1 to 3,999,999,999 using vinculum notation for values over 3,999. Vinculum notation represents multiplication by 1,000 with an overline, and double vinculum for multiplication by 1,000,000.

How does vinculum notation work?

Vinculum notation places a horizontal line (overline) above Roman numerals to indicate multiplication by 1,000. For example, V̅ represents 5,000 (5 × 1,000), and X̅ represents 10,000 (10 × 1,000). Double vinculum multiplies by 1,000,000.
