962 in Roman Numerals

Royal titles like Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. Have you ever wondered what these symbols (I and II) represent? They are Roman Numerals. In ancient times, people used fingers, sticks, and bones for counting. As life became more complex, a standard form was needed. Ancient Romans developed the Roman Numeral system for counting. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols used.

In Roman Numerals, we use CMLXII to represent 962. C is 100, M is 1000, L is 50, X is 10, and II is 2. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how to write them.

There are certain basic rules for writing numbers 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; then, it is the addition method. For example, LXII → L + X + II → 50 + 10 + 2 = 62

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write larger numbers, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, 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, CM → M - C → 1000 - 100 = 900

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times. Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we don't write VV for 10; instead, we use X. For 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 962 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 962 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 962 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place value: hundreds, tens, and ones. For 962, we write it as 900 + 60 + 2

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman Numerals.

• 900 in Roman Numerals — CM
   
• 60 in Roman Numerals — LX
   
• 2 in Roman Numerals — II

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals. Therefore, 962 in Roman Numerals is CM (900) + LX (60) + II (2) = CMLXII

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 962 in Roman Numerals, we group 962 as 900 + 60 + 2

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 60 in Roman Numerals - LX
   
• 2 in Roman Numerals - II

So, 962 is written as CMLXII 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 962. 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a larger number is followed by a smaller numeral, adding their values. For example, CMLXII = CM + LX + II = 900 + 60 + 2 = 962.

• Grouping Method: The given numbers are grouped based on their place value and converted into Roman numerals. For example, 962 = 900 + 60 + 2 = CMLXII.

• Subtraction Rule: Used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger one. For example, CM = M - C = 1000 - 100 = 900.

• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) can be repeated up to three times. For example, III = 3 (I is repeated three times to represent the number 3).

• Limitation Rule: Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, 10 is X, not VV.
