What is 1984 in Roman Numerals?

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are the Roman numerals. Earlier people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. As life became complex, a standard form was required to count. Ancient Romans used the Roman numeral system to count. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols we use to count. In Roman numerals, we use MCMLXXXIV to represent 1984. Here, M is 1000, CM is 900, L is 50, XXX is 30, and IV is 4. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 1984 in Roman Numerals

There are certain basic rules to write a number in Roman numerals. In this section, let’s discuss some basic rules that need to be remembered when writing a number in Roman numerals. Rule 1: Addition Method The addition method is used when a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, XVI → X + V + I → 10 + 5 + 1 = 16. Rule 2: Repetition Method To write a large number, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, XXX → 30. Rule 3: Subtraction Method If a small number is followed by a large number in Roman numerals, the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4. Rule 4: Limitation Rule Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we write 10 as X, not VV, and 8 as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 1984 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 1984 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals. By Expansion Method By Grouping Method

1984 in Roman Numerals by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, based on the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 1984 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 1984 in Roman numerals, follow the steps: Step 1: Break the number based on place value. 1984 = 1000 + 900 + 80 + 4. Step 2: Convert the number into Roman numerals. 1000 in Roman numeral — M 900 in Roman numeral — CM 80 in Roman numeral — LXXX 4 in Roman numeral — IV Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 1984 in Roman numerals is M + CM + LXXX + IV = MCMLXXXIV.

1984 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 1984 in Roman numerals, we group 1984 as 1000 + 900 + 80 + 4. 1000 in Roman numeral — M 900 in Roman numeral — CM 80 in Roman numeral — LXXX 4 in Roman numeral — IV So, 1984 is written as MCMLXXXIV in Roman numerals.

Problem 1

A historian found a manuscript dated MCMLXXXIV. How many years ago was the manuscript written if the current year is MMXXIII?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The manuscript was written XXXIX years ago.

Explanation

To find out how many years ago the manuscript was written, subtract the year it was written from the current year. MCMLXXXIV = 1984 MMXXIII = 2023 2023 - 1984 = 39 Thus, the manuscript was written 39 years ago, which is XXXIX in Roman numerals.

Problem 2

A collector has a coin dated MCMLXXXIV. If they add a coin from MCMXLIV and another from MMX, what is the sum of the years on all three coins?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The sum of the years on all three coins is MMMCMXXXVIII.

Explanation

First, convert each Roman numeral to a number: MCMLXXXIV = 1984 MCMXLIV = 1944 MMX = 2010 Now add them: 1984 + 1944 + 2010 = 5938 5938 in Roman numerals is MMMCMXXXVIII.

Problem 3

A puzzle requires you to rearrange the numerals in MCMLXXXIV to form the smallest possible year. What is the year and its Roman numeral form?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The smallest year is MCLXXXIV.

Explanation

Rearrange the numerals in MCMLXXXIV (1984) to form the smallest year: The Roman numeral components are M (1000), C (100), L (50), X (10), V (5), and I (1). Rearranging to smallest: MCLXXXIV = 1184.

Problem 4

If the ancient calendar marks a festival every MM years starting from year 0, when is the next festival year after MCMLXXXIV?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The next festival year is MM.

Explanation

The festival occurs every 2000 years. The last festival before 1984 was in year 0, the next one after 1984 will be in the year 2000. MM = 2000.

Problem 5

A novel mentions two significant years: MCMLXXXIV and MMXIX. What is the difference between these years?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The difference between these years is XXXV.

Explanation

To find the difference, subtract the earlier year from the later year. MCMLXXXIV = 1984 MMXIX = 2019 2019 - 1984 = 35 35 in Roman numerals is XXXV.
