736 in Roman Numerals

In 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 the Roman Numerals. Earlier people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. 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 DCCXXXVI to represent 736, where D is 500, CC is 200, XXX is 30, 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 large numbers, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, CCC → 300.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number is placed before a larger number in Roman Numerals, it is subtracted from the larger number. For example, IX → X - I → 10 - 1 = 9.

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we don't write VV for 10; instead, we use X.

Let’s now learn how to write 736 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

• By Expansion Method
• By Grouping Method

In the expansion method, the number is broken down based on place value. In this section, we will learn how to write 736 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 736 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break down the number based on place value: hundreds, tens, and ones. For 736, we write it as 700 + 30 + 6.

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman Numerals.

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
   
• 6 in Roman Numerals - VI

Step 3: Combine them into Roman Numerals. Therefore, 736 in Roman Numerals is DCC (700) + XXX (30) + VI (6) = DCCXXXVI.

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 736 in Roman Numerals, we group 736 as 700 + 30 + 6.

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
   
• 6 in Roman Numerals - VI
   

So, 736 is written as DCCXXXVI 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 736. 

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here, the values are added. For example, VI = V + I = 5 + 1 = 6.
   
• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 736 = 700 + 30 + 6 = DCCXXXVI.
   
• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, III = 3 (I is repeated three times to represent the number 3).
   
• Subtraction rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral. For example, IV = V - I = 5 - 1 = 4.
   
• Limitations of symbols: Some symbols like V, L, and D are not repeated. Instead, larger values are used to represent numbers that require these symbols.
