Unlock the mysteries of ancient mathematics with our Greek Numerals Calculator. Easily convert decimal numbers to Greek numerals and Greek numerals back to decimals. Ideal for students, historians, and enthusiasts, this tool helps you explore the fascinating numbering system used in classical Greece for everything from accounting to scientific texts.
Formula:
The Greek numeral system (also known as Ionic or Milesian numerals) is an alphabetic numeral system that uses letters of the Greek alphabet. Conversion involves mapping decimal values to specific Greek letters for units (1-9), tens (10-90), and hundreds (100-900).
For numbers 1,000 to 9,999, a 'keraia' (͵, U+0375) precedes the unit letter (e.g., ͵α for 1000, ͵β for 2000), which is then combined with hundreds, tens, and units as needed (e.g., ͵αϡπζ for 1987). Our calculator handles both decimal to Greek and Greek to decimal conversions up to 9,999.
