226 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman Numerals. 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 CCXXVI to represent 226, where C is 100, X is 10, and VI is 6. 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, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated three times. CCC → 300.

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, 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 we write as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 226 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 the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 226 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 226 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place value that is ones, tens, hundreds, etc. 

For 226, we write it as 200 + 20 + 6.

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

200 in Roman Numeral — CC

20 in Roman Numeral — XX

6 in Roman Numeral — VI

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. 

Therefore, 226 in Roman Numerals is CC + XX + VI = CCXXVI.

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the numbers. 

To write 226 in Roman Numerals, we group 226 as 200 + 20 + 6.

200 in Roman Numeral — CC

20 in Roman Numeral — XX

6 in Roman Numeral — VI

So, 226 is written as CCXXVI 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 226.

CCXXIV = 224
CCXXV = 225
CCXXVI = 226
CCXXVII = 227
CCXXVIII = 228
CCXXIX = 229

• Addition rule: Addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here the values are added. For example, CCXXVI = CC + XX + VI = 226.

• Grouping method: Here, the given number is grouped based on its place value, and then we convert each group into its Roman numerals. For example, 226 = 200 + 20 + 6 = CCXXVI.

• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, CCC = 300 (C is repeated three times to represent the number 300).

• Subtraction rule: Subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, and the smaller value is subtracted. For example, IV = 5  1 = 4.

• Place value: The numerical value that a digit has by virtue of its position in a number. For example, in the number 226, the place values are 200, 20, and 6.
