How to use roman numbers for page number in latex document?

Question

In the table of contents, I want to use roman numbers for the page number. How can I change the page numbering to roman numerals?

Answer 1

Before "\tableofcontents{}", put "\pagenumbering{roman}" to use roman numerals for the table of contents. After "\tableofcontents{}", put "\pagenumbering{arabic}" to use arabic numerals for the rest of the pages. 

\pagenumbering{roman}

\tableofcontents{}

\pagenumbering{arabic}
