Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online roman numeral arithmetic.

Enter both numerals, choose Add and the tool converts them to numbers, adds them and writes the total back in Roman symbols.
Only I, V, X, L, C, D and M. Any other letter, or a numeral that breaks the subtractive rules, is reported as invalid.
3999, written MMMCMXCIX. Above that value standard notation needs a bar over a symbol to mean a thousand times as much.
If the first numeral is smaller the result is zero or negative, and Roman numerals have no standard way to write either of those.
The whole part is written in Roman form and the remainder is reported, because Roman fractions used a separate dot notation.
If the product is larger than 3999 it cannot be written with standard symbols, so the tool reports the number and explains why.
Only I before V or X, X before L or C and C before D or M are allowed, and each subtractive pair may appear only once.
No. Division by zero is undefined and Roman numerals have no symbol for zero, so the tool explains this instead of guessing.
No. Both numerals are converted and the arithmetic runs in your browser, and nothing you type is uploaded.
