Frequently Asked Questions

How do Roman numerals work?

Roman numerals use seven letters: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), M (1000). Numbers are formed by combining these symbols. Normally, symbols are arranged from largest to smallest (XVI = 16). When a smaller symbol precedes a larger one, it's subtracted (IV = 4, IX = 9, XL = 40, XC = 90, CD = 400, CM = 900).

What are the rules for writing Roman numerals?

Only I, X, and C can be subtracted. A symbol can be repeated up to three times (III = 3, XXX = 30). Subtraction is only allowed for one symbol before a larger one (IV is valid, IIV is not). The same symbol in subtraction position can't repeat (IIX is invalid, use VIII for 8). Standard Roman numerals only go up to 3999 (MMMCMXCIX).

What is the difference between metric and imperial units?

Metric units (meters, kilograms, liters) are based on powers of 10 and used by most countries. Imperial units (feet, pounds, gallons) are primarily used in the US, UK, and a few other countries.

How do I convert meters to feet?

Multiply meters by 3.28084 to get feet. For example, 10 meters = 32.8084 feet. Conversely, multiply feet by 0.3048 to get meters.
