448 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 the Roman Numerals.

Earlier people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. 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 CDXLVIII to represent 448, where CD is 400, XL is 40, and VIII is 8. 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, VIII → V + I + I + I → 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated up to three times. III → 3.

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, XL → L - X → 50 - 10 = 40

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.

Let’s now learn how to write 448 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 448 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 448 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps,

Step 1: The number is broken based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 448, we write it as 400 + 40 + 8

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

400 in Roman Numerals - CD

40 in Roman Numerals - XL

8 in Roman Numerals - VIII

Step 3: Combining the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 448 in Roman Numerals is CD (400) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = CDXLVIII

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 448 in Roman Numerals, we group 448 as 400 + 40 + 8

• 400 in Roman Numerals — CD
   
• 40 in Roman Numerals — XL
   
• 8 in Roman Numerals — VIII

So, 448 is written as CDXLVIII 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 448.

• Addition Rule: Addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, and their values are added. For example, VIII = V + I + I + I = 8
   
• Grouping Method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value, then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 448 = 400 + 40 + 8 = CDXLVIII
   
• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeral system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, III = 3
   
• Subtraction Rule: Subtraction is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral. For example, XL = 50 - 10 = 40
   
• Limitation Rule: Some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, 10 is represented as X, not VV.
