New Roman Numerals
How to write 4000 in Roman Numerals?
There is no "unique symbol" for 5000 (or higher multiples) in Roman Numerals. The current convention is that a Roman numeral with a bar above or below means 1000x that number, so 5000 would be V (and technically, 1000 would be I instead of M).
An alternative would be to have another symbol represent 5000 (and so on for 10,000; 50,000; etc.). Though this is highly unlikely to happen, here is what I would propose for the first 3 additional symbols:
1 | I |
5 | V |
10 | X |
50 | L |
100 | C |
500 | D |
1000 | M |
5000 | Y |
---|---|
10000 | K |
50000 | H |
So, with my new symbols, 4000 = MY
