984 in Roman Numerals

The 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 earlier. 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 CMLXXXIV to represent 984, where CM is 900, LXXX is 80, and IV is 4.

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 a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated 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, it is a subtraction method. 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 we write as VIII not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 984 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 984 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 984 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps,

Step 1: The number is broken based on the place value. Place value that is ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 984, we write it as 900 + 80 + 4

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 80 in Roman Numerals - LXXX
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV
   

Step 3: Combining the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 984 in Roman Numerals is CM (900) + LXXX (80) + IV (4) = CMLXXXIV

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 984 in Roman Numerals, we group 984 as 900 + 80 + 4

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 80 in Roman Numerals - LXXX
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

So, 984 is written as CMLXXXIV in Roman Numerals.

Roman Numerals follow a certain pattern making it look similar. In this section, we will learn some numbers related to the Roman numeral 984 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, and 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 their Roman numerals. For example, 984 = 900 + 80 + 4 = CMLXXXIV
   
• Subtraction Rule: When a smaller numeral precedes a larger one, the smaller numeral is subtracted from the larger one. For example, IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9
   
• 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).
   
• Limitation Rule: Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, 10 is not written as VV, but as X.
