134 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 so on. Here we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 134 in Roman Numerals?

Royal titles such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on use Roman numerals. 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. 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 CXXXIV to represent 134. Here, C is 100, X is 10, and I and V represent 4. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 134 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 the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, CXXXIV → C + XXX + IV → 100 + 30 + 4 = 134.

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman numerals that can be repeated three times. For example, XXX → 30.

 

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, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4.

 

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.

How to Write 134 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 134 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.

 

  • By Expansion Method

 

  • By Grouping Method
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

134 in Roman Numerals by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, based on the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 134 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

 

To write 134 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc.

 

For 134, we write it as 100 + 30 + 4.

 

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman numerals.


100 in Roman numerals — C
30 in Roman numerals — XXX
4 in Roman numerals — IV

 

Step 3: Combine them together.


Therefore, 134 in Roman numerals is C (100) + XXX (30) + IV (4) = CXXXIV.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

134 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the numbers.

 

To write 134 in Roman numerals, we group 134 as 100 + 30 + 4.
 100 in Roman numerals — C
 30 in Roman numerals — XXX
 4 in Roman numerals — IV

 

So, 134 is written as CXXXIV in Roman numerals.

134 in Roman Numerals Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

A historian is cataloging a collection of CXL books and wants to distribute them equally among II archives. How many books will each archive receive?

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

Each archive will receive LXVII books.
 

Explanation

To determine the number of books each archive receives, divide the total number of books by the number of archives.  


CXL = 140  


II = 2  


140 ÷ 2 = 70  


70 in Roman numerals is LXX.

Problem 2

A sculptor is carving a series of CXXXIV statues, and he plans to finish them in X months. How many statues must he complete each month to stay on schedule?

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

He must complete XIII statues per month.
 

Explanation

To find out how many statues are completed each month, divide the total number of statues by the number of months.  


CXXXIV = 134  


X = 10  


134 ÷ 10 = 13.4 (round down to the nearest whole number for statues)  


13 in Roman numerals is XIII.

Problem 3

A builder has built a wall using CXLIV bricks. After a storm, X bricks fell off. How many bricks are left on the wall?

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

There are CXXXIV bricks left on the wall.
 

Explanation

Subtract the number of bricks that fell off from the total number of bricks to find how many are left.  


CXLIV = 144  


X = 10  


144  10 = 134  


134 in Roman numerals is CXXXIV.

Problem 4

An art teacher is preparing materials for a class project. She has a total of CXL sheets of paper and distributes them evenly among her IX students. How many sheets does each student receive?

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

Each student receives XV sheets.
 

Explanation

Divide the total number of sheets by the number of students to find how many sheets each student receives.  


CXL = 140  


IX = 9  


140 ÷ 9 = 15.555... (round down to the nearest whole number)  


15 in Roman numerals is XV.

Problem 5

Find the sum of C and XXXIV.

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

The sum of C and XXXIV is CXXXIV.
 

Explanation

Sum is the result of adding two numbers.  


C = 100  


XXXIV = 34  


100 + 34 = 134

 
134 in Roman numerals is CXXXIV.
