Roman numerals are a method of expressing numbers using specific symbols. The symbols I, V, X, L, C, D, and M are utilized to represent numbers. Roman numerals are prevalent in royal titles, book names, sequences, and more. Here, we will discuss Roman numerals, their rules, and examples.

What is 175 in Roman Numerals?

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. These symbols help in understanding the numbering system used by ancient Romans, who required a standard form to count as life became more complex. The Roman numeral system includes the symbols I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000).

 

In Roman numerals, we use CLXXV to represent 175, where C is 100, L is 50, XX is 20, and V is 5. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 175 in Roman Numerals

There are basic rules for writing numbers in Roman numerals. Below are some key rules to keep in mind:

 

Rule 1: Addition Method

 

When a smaller number is placed after a larger number, they are added. For example, CLXXV → C + L + X + X + V → 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 175.

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

 

Certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, XXX → 30.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

 

When a smaller number precedes a larger number, it is subtracted. For example, XL → 50 - 10 = 40.

 

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, instead of writing LLL for 150, we use CL.

175 in Roman Numeral by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, the number is broken down based on place value.

 

Step 1: Break down 175 into 100 + 50 + 20 + 5.

Step 2: Convert each number to Roman numerals:

100 is C

50 is L

20 is XX

5 is V

Step 3: Combine them: C + L + XX + V = CLXXV.

175 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

When writing large numbers in Roman numerals, we group them.

 

To write 175 as a Roman numeral, we group it as 100 + 50 + 20 + 5:

100 in Roman Numeral is C
50 in Roman Numeral is L
20 in Roman Numeral is XX
5 in Roman Numeral is V

So, 175 is written as CLXXV in Roman numerals.
