Roman numerals are symbols representing numbers that do not follow the base 10 number system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Initially, fingers were used for counting. However, the ancient Romans discovered that counting on one&#8217;s fingers gets complicated as a number approaches ten. As a result, a standardized system for commerce and communication was required, and that resulted in the Roman Numeral system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-roman-symbols\">Roman Symbols<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">There are seven Roman symbols that are used to write thousands of different numbers. These symbols are Latin letters representing a specific value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-default wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image2-1.png\" alt=\"roman symbols to write numbers\" class=\"wp-image-3986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image2-1.png 680w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image2-1-300x67.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">All other Roman numerals can be made using these seven Roman symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We can simply represent 100 using C or 1000 using M.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Similarly, to write 200 in Roman numerals, we just add the letters \u201cC + C\u201d. So CC represents 200 in Roman numbers. And to write 2050 in Roman numerals, we will add the letters \u201cM+M+L\u201d. So MML will be the representation of 2050 in Roman numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-rules-for-writing-roman-numerals\">Rules for Writing Roman Numerals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">If a lower value digit is written to the right of a higher value digit, it is added.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example: XV<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Since V is lower value digit and is placed to the right of X, they will be added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">XV = X + V = 10 + 5 = 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Hence, XV represents the number 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">If a lower value digit is written to the left of a higher value digit, it is subtracted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In this case, we can\u2019t write any two Roman numerals together. The only allowed cases are: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM. To calculate the value, subtract the first symbol from the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, for XL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We will subtract X, i.e., 10 from L, i.e., 50.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">50 &#8211; 10 = 40&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Hence, the Roman numeral XL represents 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The Roman numerals I, X, C cannot be repeated more than three times in succession.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So we do not write numbers 4 as IIII. The roman numeral &#8216;IV&#8217; is used to represent the number four. We have I (1) before V (5). Because the smaller number comes before the larger, we know we must subtract to get IV (4).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The number nine, written as IX, follows the same pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-converting-numbers-to-roman-numerals\"><strong>Converting Numbers to Roman Numerals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We can convert a natural number to a Roman numeral by modifying the placement of the seven Roman letters\/symbols.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Follow the steps below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: Split the number to be converted into the least expandable form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: Write their respective Roman letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 3: Add or subtract them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, to write 2052 as a Roman numeral:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: 1000 + 1000 + 50 + 1 + 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: M + M + L + I + I<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 3: MMLII<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, 2052 in Roman numerals = MMLII<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-converting-roman-numerals-to-numbers\"><strong>Converting Roman Numerals to Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Similarly, we can convert Roman numerals to numbers by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: Split the Roman numerals into single letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step2: Write their numerical value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step3: Add or subtract them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, to convert XVII to a number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: X + V + I + I<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: 10 + 5 + 1 + 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Step 3: 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, the Roman numeral XVII represents number 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-real-life-applications-of-roman-numerals\"><strong>Real-Life Applications of Roman Numerals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Here are some real-life applications of Roman numerals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-default wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image1-1.png\" alt=\"Real-Life examples of Roman Numerals\" class=\"wp-image-3985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image1-1.png 680w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image1-1-300x165.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We have now learned about Roman numerals and their history in this article.

Let us see with the help of some solved examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">If you write a lower value symbol to the left of the greater value symbol, its value can be subtracted from the value of the greater symbol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">IV = 5 &#8211; 1 = 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">XL = 50 &#8211; 10=40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">IX = 10 &#8211; 1 = 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Similarly, if the symbol of greater value is written to the left of the lower value symbol, then their values can be added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">VI = 5 + 1 = 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">VII = 5 + 2 = 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">LXX = 50 + 10 + 10 = 70<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-practice-problems\">Practice Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-regular wp-block-table eplus-wrapper\"><table class=\"wj-table-class\"><tbody><tr><td><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Roman Numerals<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this Quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">How many basic numerals are there in the Roman numeration system?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">10<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">7<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">8<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">11<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: 7<br\/>There are seven roman symbols that are used to write thousands of different numbers.
