914 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 more. Here we will be discussing Roman Numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 914 in Roman Numerals?

Roman numerals are often seen in royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. Have you noticed these symbols and wondered what they represent? Those are the Roman Numerals. Initially, people counted using fingers, sticks, bones, etc.

 

As life became complex, a standard form was required to count. Ancient Romans developed the Roman numeral system for this purpose. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols used to count.

 

In Roman Numerals, we use CMXIV to represent 914. Here, CM is 900, X is 10, and IV is 4. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.914 in roman numerals

Basic Rules for 914 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 a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6.

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

 

To write larger numbers, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. III → 3.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

 

If a smaller number is placed before a larger number in Roman Numerals, 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 won't write VV for 10; instead, we use X, and 8 is written as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 914 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 914 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

 

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

914 in Roman Numeral by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, based on place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 914 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 914 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on place value. For 914, the place values are hundreds, tens, and ones. For 914, we write it as 900 + 10 + 4.

 

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman Numerals:

 

  • 900 in Roman Numeral - CM
     
  • 10 in Roman Numeral - X
     
  • 4 in Roman Numeral - IV

 

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 914 in Roman Numeral is CM (900) + X (10) + IV (4) = CMXIV.

914 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 914 in Roman Numerals, we group 914 as 900 + 10 + 4.

 

  • 900 in Roman Numeral - CM
     
  • 10 in Roman Numeral - X
     
  • 4 in Roman Numeral - IV

 

So, 914 is written as CMXIV in Roman Numerals.

914 in Roman Numerals Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

A historian discovered a manuscript that mentions a battle involving CMXIV warriors. If each warrior carried III weapons, how many weapons were in total?

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

The total number of weapons was MMMDXLII.

Explanation

To find the total number of weapons, multiply the number of warriors by the number of weapons each carried.

CMXIV = 914

III = 3

Therefore, CMXIV × III = 914 × 3 = 2742.

2742 in Roman numerals is MMMDXLII.

Problem 2

A library received CMXIV rare books, which were to be evenly distributed among XIII shelves. How many books were placed on each shelf?

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

Each shelf received LXX books.

Explanation

To find the number of books per shelf, divide the total number of books by the number of shelves.

CMXIV = 914

XIII = 13

914 ÷ 13 = 70

70 in Roman numerals is LXX.

Problem 3

Determine the total cost of CMXIV apples if each apple costs V cents.

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

The total cost is MMMMDLXX cents.

Explanation

Multiply the number of apples by the cost per apple to find the total cost.

CMXIV = 914

V = 5 914 × 5 = 4570

4570 in Roman numerals is MMMMDLXX.

Problem 4

A treasure chest contains CMXIV gold coins, while another contains DCCLXXVIII. What is the total number of gold coins?

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

The total number of gold coins is MDCLXXXXII.

Explanation

Add the number of coins in each chest to find the total.

CMXIV = 914

DCCLXXVIII = 778

914 + 778 = 1692

1692 in Roman numerals is MDCLXXXXII.

Problem 5

Write the Roman Numeral for 700 + 214 using the expansion method.

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

The Roman numeral for 700 + 214 is CMXIV.

Explanation

Step 1: Convert the numbers 700 and 214 into Roman numerals.

700 = DCC

214 = CCXIV

Add the numbers together:

700 + 214 = 914

Using the expansion method:

914 = 900 + 10 + 4 = CMXIV.
