What is Roman Number Converter
Roman number are used to represent quantities using a little set of symbols. These are total seven symbols, which have special predefined weight in roman number system. Aside that each digit or can say symbol has weight there is also some kind of rules for interpretation and creation of roman numbers. Unlike other number systems, In Roman number system four symbols from the roman digits domain cannot comes together. It means that to represent we can use III (I three times). But when we are required to write four then rather than write it four times we will use the next symbol and one will be deducted from this next symbol. Such as IV (Here V is used for five in roman)
That's the actual reason that we cannot convert numbers greater than 3999 in roman number system. Because the next coming number will be 4000 and it is required four adjacent symbols of thousand (M). This will violate the fundamental counting rule of roman number system.

As the largest symbol of roman is M (which is 1000) and rule that four symbols cannot comes as adjacent. In addition there exist another important rule which is used to represent numbers greater than 3999, and other big numbers. For this purpose we will write overline to the existing 7 symbols from roman number system. Using this rule we can write 4000 in roman as IV. This overline may be placed over the first digit or over the entire number.
| Number | Using Overline |
|---|---|
| 5000 | v |
| 10000 | X |
