328 in Roman Numerals

Have you ever noticed royal titles like Henry I, Henry II, and wondered what these symbols represent? These are Roman numerals. In ancient times, people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. As life became more complex, a standard form of counting was needed, and the ancient Romans developed the Roman numeral system. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols used to count in this system.

In Roman numerals, we use CCCXXVIII to represent 328. Here, CCC is 300, XX is 20, and VIII is 8. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

There are certain basic rules for writing 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, VIII → V + III → 5 + 3 = 8.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write larger numbers, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, CCC → 300.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number precedes a larger number, we subtract the smaller number from the larger 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 write 10 as X, not VV, and 8 as VIII, not IIIIIIII.
