This sounds like a homework question - which we don't answer. Perhaps if you
knew that the proper term is Roman numerals that might help.

If there were a method to readily translate large numbers, say
like 2005, into Roman numerals it might be worth knowing but,
otherwise, I'd say Mike is right. Mary's method finishes with
translating 2169 into X.

Go into Excel and search help for the ROMAN function
Works with numbers less than 4000

Thanks, I knew about that one and its variations. It's
rather amusing to calculate them mentally on the rare occasions
that I need them. The other way round is actually a little more
common for me but it's only for working out the copyright dates
on movies etc.

In Word, you can use a field code with the \*roman switch to do the
"translation" for you.
1. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert the field braces, { }
2. Type =1 \*ROMAN between the field braces, so you now have { =1
\*ROMAN}
3. Press F9 to "update" the field, and it will resolve to i.
It's much more impressive with larger numbers, though. For example, you can
use:
{ =2005 \*ROMAN }
to discover that the current year is MMV, or { =5280 \*ROMAN } to learn that
there are
MMMMMCCLXXX feet in I mile. If you use { =0 \*ROMAN}, you'll see that a 0 in
Roman numerals is a space. That's because the Romans didn't have a zero.
They would've had to invent one if they'd taught where I went to high
school, though.
Hope this helps...

Indeed it is, but the results are different. Typing "III" gives you three
repititions of the letter I. Typing 2162,Alt-X gives you a single
character representing the Roman numeral three. Even though they look the
same, they behave quite differently.
