Decomposition
1000 + 900 + 90 + 4

This tool uses conventional modern notation from 1 to 3999. Historical variants, overlines, batch conversion, Roman arithmetic and date-format conversion are outside its scope.

Canonical numeral decomposition

M contributes 1000. Cumulative prefix through this token: M = 1000; full numeral MCMXCIV = 1994.

Bar widths represent each token’s share of the complete value. Token buttons retain small values even when their bar segment is below pixel resolution. Subtractive pairs stay together as one meaningful token.
Formula, worked explanation & limitations
  1. Use the descending conventional symbols and six subtractive pairs IV, IX, XL, XC, CD and CM. Zero, negatives and fractions have no representation in this supported convention.
  2. M contributes 1000
  3. C subtracts from M to make 900
  4. X subtracts from C to make 90
  5. I subtracts from V to make 4
  6. 1000 + 900 + 90 + 4 = 1994. Lowercase input is normalized; internal spaces, malformed forms and values above 3999 are not accepted.

Frequently asked questions

What range is supported?

Canonical modern notation from 1 to 3999, or I through MMMCMXCIX. Zero, negatives, fractions, extended overlines and historical variants are outside this convention.

What is 1994 in Roman numerals?

1994 is MCMXCIV: M contributes 1000, CM contributes 900, XC contributes 90 and IV contributes 4. The reverse direction returns 1994.

Which subtractive pairs are allowed?

The supported canonical pairs are IV, IX, XL, XC, CD and CM. Forms such as IL, IC, VX or repeated subtractive groups are not silently summed into a value.

How is malformed input rejected?

The numeral must match canonical thousands, hundreds, tens and ones groups and reproduce itself after conversion back from its integer. Repeated V/L/D, excessive repeats and malformed ordering fail validation.

Can I type lowercase letters or spaces?

Lowercase letters are normalized to uppercase, and leading/trailing whitespace is trimmed. Internal spaces, unrelated letters and overline syntax are rejected rather than interpreted ambiguously.

What does the decomposition visual show?

Each additive symbol or permitted subtractive pair is a token with its integer contribution. Its bar width is proportional to the total, and selecting it shows its explanation and the cumulative prefix value.
