How to convert Roman numerals to vigesimal
Go through decimal: first add up the values of the Roman symbols, subtracting a smaller symbol that comes before a larger one (IV = 4, CM = 900); then divide the number by 20 again and again and write down the remainders; read in reverse order, the remainders are the vigesimal digits.
Example: MMXXIV to vigesimal
Step 1: Roman numerals to decimal
Split MMXXIV into its symbols, reading a smaller symbol before a larger one as a subtraction:
M + M + X + X + IV = 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 2024
Step 2: Decimal to vigesimal
Divide by 20 repeatedly and keep the remainders. Reading the remainders from the last one to the first gives the vigesimal digits:
| Division | Quotient | Remainder (digit) |
|---|---|---|
| 2,024 ÷ 20 | 101 | 4 |
| 101 ÷ 20 | 5 | 1 |
| 5 ÷ 20 | 0 | 5 |
Result: 2,024 = 514 in vigesimal.
