703 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. Have you noticed these names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are Roman numerals. Earlier, people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. When life became more 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 DCCIII to represent 703. Here, D is 500, CC is 200, and III is 3.

Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

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 the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, DCCIII → D + CC + III → 500 + 200 + 3 = 703.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write larger numbers, certain Roman numerals like I, X, C, and M can be repeated up to three times. III → 3.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number is followed by a larger number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger one. For example, IX → X - I → 10 - 1 = 9.

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

The symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we won't write VV for 10; instead, we use X, and 8 is written as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 703 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.

• By Expansion Method
• By Grouping Method

In the expansion method, based on place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 703 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 703 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break down the number based on place value: hundreds, tens, ones. For 703, we write it as 700 + 3.

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman numerals.

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 3 in Roman Numerals - III
   

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 703 in Roman numerals is DCC (700) + III (3) = DCCIII.

When writing a large number in Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 703 in Roman numerals, we group 703 as 700 + 3.

• 700 in Roman numerals - DCC
   
• 3 in Roman numerals - III

So, 703 is written as DCCIII in Roman numerals.

Roman numerals follow a certain pattern, making them look similar. In this section, we will learn some numbers related to the Roman numeral 703.

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a larger numeral is followed by a smaller one, adding their values. For example, DCCIII = D + CC + III = 500 + 200 + 3 = 703.
   
• Grouping Method: Numbers are grouped based on place value and converted into Roman numerals. For example, 703 = 700 + 3 = DCCIII.
   
• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeral system can be repeated up to three times. For example, III = 3.
   
• Subtraction Rule: A smaller numeral placed before a larger numeral indicates subtraction. For example, IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9.
   
• Limitation Rule: Some numerals, like V, L, and D, cannot be repeated, and no numeral is repeated more than three times in sequence.
