734 in Roman Numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Roman numerals are a way of expressing numbers using symbols. I, V, X, L, C, D, and M are the symbols we use. Roman numerals are used in royal titles, book names, sequences, and so on. Here we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 734 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 Roman numerals. Earlier people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. When 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 DCCXXXIV to represent 734, where D is 500, CC is 200, XXX is 30, and IV is 4.

Basic Rules for 734 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 the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, DCC → D + CC → 500 + 200 = 700

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman numerals that can be repeated three times. For example, XXX → 30.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number is followed by a large number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the large number. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4

 

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. For 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 734 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 734 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.

 

  • By Expansion Method
  • By Grouping Method
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

734 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 734 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 734 in Roman numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: Break down the number based on the place value. Place value that is ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 734, we write it as 700 + 30 + 4

 

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman numerals

  • 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
     
  • 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
     
  • 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

 

Step 3: Combining the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 734 in Roman numerals is DCC (700) + XXX (30) + IV (4) = DCCXXXIV

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

734 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 734 in Roman numerals, we group 734 as 700 + 30 + 4

 

  • 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
     
  • 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
     
  • 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

So, 734 is written as DCCXXXIV in Roman numerals.

Problem 1

Convert the year in which a historical event took place, DCCXXXIV, into Arabic numerals.

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

The year DCCXXXIV in Arabic numerals is 734.

Explanation

To convert Roman numerals to Arabic numerals, we break down each component:

D = 500

CC = 200

XXX = 30

IV = 4

Adding them together: 500 + 200 + 30 + 4 = 734.

Problem 2

A collector has a set of DCCXXXIV coins and divides them into II equal collections. How many coins are in each collection?

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

Each collection contains CCCLXVII coins.

Explanation

To find the number of coins per collection, divide the total number of coins by the number of collections:

DCCXXXIV = 734

II = 2

734 / 2 = 367

367 in Roman numerals is CCCLXVII.

Problem 3

What is the sum of DCC and XXXIV in Roman numerals?

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

The sum of DCC and XXXIV is DCCXXXIV.

Explanation

To find the sum, add the two numbers:

DCC = 700

XXXIV = 34

700 + 34 = 734

734 in Roman numerals is DCCXXXIV.

Problem 4

A historian finds a manuscript marked with the Roman numeral DCCXXXIV. What is the difference in years between that and CM?

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

The difference between DCCXXXIV and CM is CLXVI.

Explanation

First, convert the Roman numerals to Arabic numerals:

DCCXXXIV = 734

CM = 900

The difference is 900 - 734 = 166

166 in Roman numerals is CLXVI.

Problem 5

Express 734 using Roman numerals through the expansion method.

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

734 in Roman numerals is DCCXXXIV.

Explanation

Breakdown 734 into components:

700 + 30 + 4

700 = DCC

30 = XXX

4 = IV

Combine them: DCC + XXX + IV = DCCXXXIV.
