Understanding Roman Numerals
Basic Symbols: I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000
Subtractive Notation: When a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, it's subtracted (e.g., IV=4, IX=9, XL=40).
Additive Notation: When a smaller numeral appears after a larger one, it's added (e.g., VI=6, XI=11, LX=60).
Vinculum Notation: For numbers above 3,999, a line over a numeral multiplies it by 1,000 (e.g., V̅=5,000, X̅=10,000, M̅=1,000,000).
Maximum Value: This converter supports up to 3,999,999 (M̅M̅M̅C̅M̅X̅C̅I̅X̅CMXCIX).
