Quick answer

2026 = MMXXVI (1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1). 1994 = MCMXCIV.

How it works

Roman numerals use I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000. A smaller numeral before a larger one subtracts (IV = 4); after, it adds (VI = 6).

Formula

Add values left to right; subtract when a smaller numeral precedes a larger one

Frequently asked questions

Why only up to 3,999?

Standard Roman numerals don't repeat a symbol more than three times, so 4,000 and above need special notation (an overline) rarely used today.
